The Tier 1 (Investor) visa is a passive investment program, designed for high-net-worth individuals who invest no less than £ 2,000,000 into share capital or loan capital in active trading UK companies.
The preliminary visa is granted for 3 years and 4 months (or 3 years if processed in the UK).
A following extension can be applied for, providing all criteria are met. Holders of the Tier 1 Investor visa can apply to extend their visa for an additional 2 years.
The Tier 1 (Investor) route can lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in 2 to 5 years and citizenship in 5 to 6 years, subject to meeting the eligibility criteria. An fast-track settlement option is available and dependent on the amount of invested capital – £ 10 million leads to ILR after 2 years, or £ 5 million for ILR in 3 years.
The fees for individual Tier 1 (Investor) visa entry, visa extension, ILR and citizenship depend on case, contingent urgencies and case complexities. We will provide a bespoke quote based on an in-depth assessment of your case.
The Start-up visa type is for new entrepreneurs starting their business in UK first time. This category has no set initial capital investment requirement. To be eligible for a visa, applicants must first get an endorsement from a Home Office-approved endorsing body confirming that their business is innovative, viable and scalable.
The maximum grant of leave in this category is 2 years.
Applicants will not be able to extend their visa in the same category; however they may switch to an innovator visa if they meet the requirements.
The start-up visa UK does not directly lead to indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the UK unless an applicant has switched to the Innovator category.

The initial visa is granted for a maximum of 3 years.
A consequent extension can be applied for, provided that all criteria are met. Holders of the Tier 2 (General) visa may apply to extend their visa for a further 2 years.

The Tier 2 Intra-company Transfer visa (ICT) allows skilled workers in a foreign country to move to a job in the UK branch of the same company. The applicant must have a minimum of 12 months experience in that company unless they are being offered a salary of £73,900 or more a year to work in the UK.
There is also the possibility of transferring to the UK branch of the company as a Graduate Trainee for specialist roles. To be considered eligible to transfer as a Graduate Trainee, applicants need to be a recent graduate with at least 3 months’ experience with their employer overseas.
The highest possible stay for each type of Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa is: • Long-term Staff (if earning more than £120,000 a year): 9 years • Long-term Staff (if earning less than £120,000 a year): 5 years, 1 month • Graduate Trainee: 12 months
Tier 2 (ICT) migrants can apply to extend their stay in the UK for the maximum period permitted for their visa type, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements necessary for the particular subcategory.
With the Tier 2 Intra-company transfer visa, applicants are not permitted to apply for indefinite leave to remain at the end of 5 years in the UK, unlike Tier 2 (General) migrants.
The fees for individual Tier 2 ICT applications depend on specific issues, contingent urgencies, and case complexities. We will provide a bespoke quote based on an in-depth assessment of your case.
