Tier 1 (Investor) migrants are high-net-worth individuals who wish to make investments of at least £2 million in the UK financial market.
In order to enter the UK as a Tier 1 (Investor) migrant, you must meet stringent eligibility requirements. Find out more about the requirements for applying under the investor route by contacting our team.
Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrants are those who wish to set up and run a business in the UK.
Applying under the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) route depends very much on your current immigration status.
You can only apply from outside the UK if you have access to £200,000 in investment, and you can only apply with a lower £50,000 investment if you already have a certain type of leave in the UK. Different rules apply to different situations, such as if you previously held a Tier 1 (Post-study worker) visa or if you were previously a student.
The Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) rules can be complex, so if you need assistance or advice navigating the provisions, contact us to see if we can help.
If you are an overseas business without a base in the UK, it is possible to send a representative to the UK in order to establish a branch of your business here.
In order to qualify for a visa under this category you must have no branch in the UK currently. In addition, the representative must be a senior employee who will be making operational decisions on your behalf, to establish a branch carrying out the same business activity as your overseas business.
It is also possible for employees of overseas newspapers, news agencies or broadcasting organisations to be posted on a long-term assignment under this category.
Our immigration specialists can assist you with your application for entry clearance or leave to remain as a Representative of an Overseas Business.
We offer an accessible service to assist employers with becoming sponsors for immigration purposes.
