Obtain a 3 years 4 months visa Invest at least £200,000 Own a business in the UK
While most people dream of visiting the UK, here’s your chance to not just visit but to live and work there. If you are a non-European and have £200,000 in invest, then Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa is for you. The United Kingdom invites entrepreneurs who wish to set up and run a business in their country.
This visa type is largely popular among the Indian entrepreneurs and investors. It not just allows them to own a business in the UK, but also lets them live there with their family for 3 years and 4 months and another 2 years of extended period.
Moreover, the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa holders can apply for settlement (also referred to as “indefinite leave to remain”) after a period of 5 years stay in the UK. That’s not all. There are more benefits in store for successful applicants.
