The Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa programme allowed business people with between £50,000 and £200,000 in funds available for investment to enter the UK to establish or take over a UK business or businesses.
The Tier 1 category was closed to new applicants on 29 March 2019. This has been replaced by the new UK Innovator visa scheme.
However, the current holders of the Tier 1 category can apply to extend their leave until 5th April 2023 and apply for settlement until 5th April 2025.
CONSULTATIONWe value your time. After the consultation, we will let you know what the next steps are. We will request the documents we need, and only call you when necessary. We are proactive, will update you on your case as soon as we have any news so that you don’t need to call, meaning you can rest assured that no actions are needed from your side.
We haven’t forgotten about you, but we believe you’d rather spend time doing something that really matters than on the phone with a lawyer.
