Professional Services to ease down the process of visa application

Tier 1 entrepreneur visa

One of the characteristics of the Immigration laws which make them highly unpredictable and complicated is that they keep on changing and involves a thorough understanding of the policies. UK government and the concerned authorities have too decided to make certain changes in the policies which are sure to change the face of the Immigration laws forever.

The Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa is the natural visa to obtain for those wishing to start or invest in a business they will actively be involved in running in the UK. To qualify under this route, you must show you have access to at least £50,000 in capital from a registered venture capital firm, seed funding competition or government department or £200,000 of personal wealth, which can include third party backing.

The injection of private sector talent and entrepreneurial vigour has boosted the growth of many industries in the UK and businesses such as tech start-ups have thrived in the era of Tech City mania. While there is definitely encouragement for entrepreneurs to bring business to the UK, recent statistics show otherwise with a high number of refusal rates for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) applicants. This is partly due to the introduction of the subjective “genuine entrepreneur test”, which is the UK government’s response to counter abuse under this immigration category.

With the recent updates in the rules, obtaining visas have become a more daunting task. Professionals and entrepreneurs who are ambitious and possess the legit rights are thus moving towards the sustainable and result oriented efforts by the experienced attorneys to make the process easier.

Fusco Browne Immigration has evolved to be a preferred destination for Tier1 entrepreneur visa globally.

Setting up a Business in the UK

For people who come to the UK to get involved in business activities, the government offers the Tier 1 entrepreneur visa. With this you can set up a new business or take over an existing enterprise. The immigration authorities will need you to affirm that your intentions for business are genuine. To prove it you will need to provide evidence of market research and your detailed business plans. Here, qualified immigration lawyers can help you to gather the right documentation to show that you meet the requirement. 

Besides the knowledge of the business that you propose to run in the UK, you also need to prove that you have adequate funds for the commercial activity. There should be at least £200,000 available. Alternatively, if you can show that your funds are from a venture capitalist firm that is regulated by the Financial Services Authority then a minimum amount of only £50,000 will be needed.

To meet further requirements of the entrepreneur visa, you need to demonstrate that aside from the amount to be invested in business, you also have adequate funds to support yourself and that you meet the English language requirement standards of the country. One of the ways to prove your ability in the national language of UK is to pass an approved English language test with at least CEFR level B1 in reading, writing, speaking and listening. The other is to have an academic qualification that was taught in English and is recognised by UK NARIC as being equal to a UK bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD.
