Post Brexit changes to toughen stand on Student Visas

Top UK Immigration Lawyers

Among the major changes which would be hitting the immigration scene badly in UK post Brexit, the international students would also be taking a major chunk of burn. The UK movement which started to curb the rising migration in the country is believed to target the international students who come in the country to study and also hope to get opportunities for work. The government want to break the link between studying and settling down in the country for further work.

Since it came to power, the government has tried to make it more difficult for international students to stay in the UK after completing their studies, as part of its failed plan to cut net immigration to below 100,000 per year and reduce visa fraud. The most significant step in this direction was the scrapping of the post-study work visa in 2012. This had allowed non-EU students to stay in the UK and work for up to two years after graduation.

The current system allows the students irrespective of their talents and the university’s quality, favourable employment prospects when they stop studying. But the new rules would put an end to this. Now the new rules would bring about major changes for the students coming to study “low quality programs” in Britain. The new rues also discourages these students to take up further jobs and prolong their stay than the course tenure.

Amidst all these confusions, several international students are found to seek specialised legal help in order to tackle the situation. If you find yourself in any such situation or need an expert advice pertaining to some case, contact top UKimmigration lawyers of Fusco Immigration.

Investing in Business and Immigrating to Britain

UK Immigration Experts

As per the immigration laws in the United Kingdom, the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa category is for business people who want to set up a business in the country. The visa is also needed for someone who wants to partake in, or invest further into a current business in the UK.

Post-Brexit the rules for EU citizens are yet to be materialised, but the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa is applicable for all non-EU citizens. To come to the UK as an investor you therefore need to make an investment of at least £200,000. The visa fee is additional and it must be applied for at least 3 months before travelling.

If the amount you plan to invest is significantly above the minimum limit of £200,000 the UK Home Office can be less stringent with regards to other rules concerning this business visa. This means that your application can then be processed more quickly. You may also consult UK immigration experts for further details on this provision.

The basic requirements to run your own business as investor.

The set of requirements to apply for the Tier 1 visa include:

• Invest £200,000 in a new business in the UK.
• Offer full-time employment to at least 2 EEA nationals.
• Work only for the business that you have invested in.
• Have ample funds to live and maintain your own self in the United Kingdom until the business becomes profit generating or cost-effective.
• Have a controlling interest in the business.
• Own a share of the business’s liabilities.
• Execute business plans that seem logical and realistic.

In addition, do not undermine the fact that while investing money in the UK, it must be your own and not a loan from any financial institution.
