What is the UK Innovator visa?
The UK Innovator visa is designed for experienced overseas businesspeople with investment funds who wish to establish a new, innovative, and viable business in the UK. If granted, your Innovator visa will allow you to stay in the UK for up to three years initially. During this time, you will be able to establish your business, work for your business, and travel freely to and from the UK. You will also be able to bring your partner and children with you.
What are the eligibility requirements for a UK Innovator visa?
To obtain a UK Innovator visa, you will need to show evidence that:
- You are 18 or over
- You have an endorsement from an approved endorsing body that your business is new, innovative, and viable
- You have at least £50,000 in investment funds
- You meet the English language requirements - to at least level B2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale.
- You have savings of at least £1,270 to support yourself and your family during your time in the UK
Can I apply for settlement once my UK Innovator visa expires?
Yes, the UK Innovator visa provides one of the shortest routes to settlement of all visas. Once you have spent 3 years on your Innovator visa, you will be able to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). To make a successful ILR application, you will need to show that you have lived here continuously during this time (i.e. you have not been out of the UK for more than 180 days in any 12-month period) and that you have not broken the law or breached your immigration conditions.
What documents do I need to provide when applying for a UK Innovator visa?
You will need to provide the following documentation to support your application:
- Your passport
- A letter of endorsement from an approved endorsing body
- Evidence that you have at least £50,000 in investment funds, and these are available for you to invest when you arrive in the UK
- You meet the English language requirements (e.g. a pass certificate from an approved English language test provider)
- Clear tuberculosis (TB) test results
- A bank statement showing you have at least £1,270, and these have been held by you for at least 28 days.
