Innovator Founder Visa
We have helped clients to enter the UK to establish successful businesses in the UK by pursuing innovator founder visa applications. This is the most efficient immigration route for foreign entrepreneurs to set up a business in the UK.
ELIGIBILITY
You can apply for an Innovator Founder Visa if:
- You want to set up or run a business in the UK
- You’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
- Your business or business idea has been approved by an endorsing body.
We can help you with a list of endorsing bodies that can sustain your visa application via an endorsement letter.
You must also:
- meet the English language requirement
- be at least 18 years old
- be able to prove that you have enough personal savings to support yourself while you’re in the UK
You will need to prove to your endorsing body/organisation that you have enough funding and where it’s from. You do not need any investment funds if either:
- Your business is already established and has been endorsed for an earlier visa
- You’ve changed your business and already agreed it with your endorsing body
Proof of supporting yourself:
You need to have had at least £1,270 in your bank account for 28 consecutive days before you either:
- apply for an Innovator Founder visa
- apply to extend your Innovator Founder visa or switch to an Innovator Founder visa if you’ve been in the UK for less than a year
You cannot use either of the following to support yourself:
- money from your investment funds
- money earned while working in the UK illegally
There are vast and specific requirements for the Innovator Founder Visa that we can guide you through for a quick and successful application.
