Are you looking to start a business in the UK, or a recognised leader in your field ?
You might qualify for a UK visa
The UK offers two exciting pathways for ambitious entrepreneurs and accomplished professionals. These are the Innovator Founder Visa and the Global Talent Visa. Both visas offer a direct pathway to permanent residency (Also known as Indefinite Leave to Remain) in the UK.
​
The Innovator Founder Visa is ideal for those looking to establish an innovative business in the UK. Meanwhile, the Global Talent Visa is suitable for recognised leaders (including promising talent) in fields such as tech, science, the arts, and academia, offering the chance to live and work in the UK without the need for a specific job offer. Both routes are designed to attract and support exceptional individuals ready to make a positive impact in the UK (and beyond!).
