If you’re looking to set up a business in the UK or expand your existing overseas business, the Self-Sponsorship route could be the perfect option for you to live and work in the UK. It’s important to note that there is no official “Self-Sponsorship Visa” per se, but rather, it falls under the Skilled Worker Visa category. This route allows you, with the assistance of a UK resident Director, to establish a UK company that will sponsor you to work in the UK. Unlike the Innovator Visa, there is no minimum investment required, and you can hold shares in the business. This route is particularly beneficial for experienced entrepreneurs or individuals who have identified a business opportunity in the UK market. To proceed, you will need to secure a Sponsor Licence, enabling the company to sponsor your visa application.
