Corporate Immigration in the United Kingdom

Over the last few years, it has been observed that corporate immigration to the UK is increasingly becoming more complex and difficult. The immigration into the UK has been on a constant increase and the British government feels the political need to put a cap on this high immigration number. However, there has been a constant proclamation from the government that the UK immigration policies have business promotion and economic growth as the objective of its various policies. According to these policies, the government claims that it invites specific kinds of immigrants who are good for the economic growth of the UK and are needed by the region. Also these immigrants would be able to provide skilled workforce input to the UK companies and invest in the economy. This portrays a mixed image but on the whole corporate immigration despite of the newly introduced restrictions shows a healthy trend with minimum abuse of the system. The points based system regulates the corporate immigration and says:

Tier 1 Investor Visa aimed at high net worth people, wanting to invest in UK businesses

Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa aimed at individuals wanting to start and run a new business in the UK 

Tier 2 Work Permit Visa aimed at skilled and highly-qualified workers, having sponsorship by UK 

employer 

Tier 2 Work Permit Migrants who have sponsorship by a UK company holding a Tier 2 Sponsor Licence

Also, in addition there is another corporate immigration rule which is the “Sole representative of an Overseas Business Visa’, which is not a part of the points based system. In this scheme an oversees company’s senior employee can enter the UK. He can come in and set up the branch of the company in the UK and make the company operational.
