How can we help you get a tier 1 visa?

What are tier 1 – Visas?

Tier 1 is one of the immigration routes under the UK’s points-based visa system available to individuals from outside the European Economic Area (EEA). The visas which make up the Tier 1 immigration route offer relatively favourable terms and eligibility requirements for visa holders.

What are the different visas under the Tier 1 visa scheme?

Within the tier 1 visa scheme, there are four separate categories:

  • Tier 1 (INVESTOR) Visa
  • Tier 1 (Entrepreneur Visa
  • Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur)

We take a look at the eligibility and application criteria for each of the Tier 1 visas for investors and entrepreneurs.

How to apply

When you apply for a Tier 1 (Investor) Visa, you will need to be able to provide the following evidence to support your application.

  • A current valid passport that has one page that is blank on both sides or a travel identification document
  • Proof of your available investment funds – where it’s being held, where it came from and that it can be transferred into sterling.
  • Results from a negative tuberculosis test if applicable
  • A criminal record if you have stayed in any country for 12 months or more over a 10 year period.

Start-up visa

The new start-up visa is for individuals wanting to set up their first business in the UK. It replaces the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) visa, which is now closed to new applications. The start-up visa is open to graduates and non-graduates who can demonstrate high potential, and there is no requirement to show investment funds as part of your application.
