Tier 1 Entrepreneurs, Investors and Exceptional talent visas
For a person with sufficient means and the right frame of mind, the Tier 1 Entrepreneur route represents one of the more accessible ways of entering the UK for business immigration purposes. However, the route is fraught with challenges, ranging from the genuineness test (by which Home Office decision makers assess not only the credibility of the application but also its feasibility as a business venture), to the fabulously detailed supporting document requirements which are likely to frustrate any but the most devoted reader of small print, to the difficulties in meeting the consistent employment requirements for an extension of leave.
The general purpose of this route is to allow generous immigration consequences for people with a high net worth who make a substantial financial investment in the UK.
We also look at Exceptional Talents visas for exceptionally talented individuals wishing to work in the UK within their chosen field of excellence.
