The UK is open to people who wish and are able to contribute to its economy, and an important group here are the entrepreneurs from other EU markets.

There are several UK business visas for anyone who wishes to migrate to the UK to do business. However, there is no all-inclusive package of requisites that apply to all the business visa modalities, so this is what someone who wants to become an entrepreneur in the UK needs in order to qualify for this visa:

Entrepreneur Visa
This visa works for individuals who want to come to the UK to start a business and work running that business.

The requisites for a Tier 1-Entrepreneur- Visa are:

-    The person must have no less than £200,000 to start the business.

-    The entrepreneur can start any kind of business; however, he or she must work full-time on it.

-    The entrepreneur has to offer full-time employment to two EEA nationals.

-    The entrepreneur has to take a share of the business’ liabilities.

-    The entrepreneur has to have enough funds to look after himself or herself until the business becomes profitable.

-    The entrepreneur has to have a controlling interest in the business.

-    The entrepreneur has to have a credible and feasible business plan.

-    The entrepreneur has to meet the English language ability requisites.  If the applicant does not have a degree taught in English, he or she must take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and score no less than 6.5 on each of the four components.  This system evaluates English communication skills across the four subjects: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

-    The entrepreneur has to have enough funds, as specified by the UK Government at the time of the application.

The conditions for a Tier 1Entrepreneur Visa are:

-    The visa is initially given for two years.

-    The entrepreneur can ask for a 3-year extension if the business is still active, if the investment has been made, and if two people have been employed.

-    After five years, the entrepreneur can apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain, or Permanent Residency.

-    Partners and dependent children can share the entrepreneur’s visa and are able to work and study in the UK.

If you have any questions or doubts about your visa application, or require further assistance, don’t hesitate to contact an immigration lawyer in the UK.

The UK is open to people who wish and are able to contribute to its economy, and an important group here are the investors from other EU markets.
There are several UK business visas for anyone who wishes to migrate to the UK to do business. However, there is no all-inclusive package of requisites that apply to all the business visa modalities, so this is what someone who wants to become an investor in the UK needs in order to qualify for this visa:

Investor Visa
This visa covers people with enough wealth and eagerness to invest their money in UK interests; it is a passive investment modality.

The requisites for a Tier 1-Investor- Visa are:

-The investor must have no less than £1 million on hand.

-    The investor has to be willing to invest £750,000 in unit trusts or private companies; not bank accounts, property development, or offshore companies.

-    The investor should not be employed in any capacity other than managing his or her investment.

-    The investor has to be ready to spend no less than 50% of his or her time in the UK.

-    The investor can invest the other £250,000 in any way he or she wishes to.

-    The investor must comply with the English language ability requisites.  If the applicant does not have a degree taught in English, he or she must take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and score no less than 6.5 on each of the four components.  This system evaluates English communication skills across the four subjects: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

-    The investor has to have enough funds, as specified by the UK Government at the time of the application.

The conditions for a Tier 1-Investor- Visa are:

-    The investor initially receives the visa for three years.

-    After these three years, the investor has to apply for an extension, which will be approved if any decrease in the value of the investment is due to market fluctuation only, if the money was transferred in the first three months after the investor arrived to the UK, and if the total investment amount is still £1 million.

-    The extension visa is granted for two years.

-    After five years, the investor can apply for the Indefinite Leave to Remain, or Permanent Residency.

-    Partners and dependent children can share the investor’s visa and are authorized to work and study in the UK.

Because of the complexity of international law, especially UK immigration law, it is very important that you find the best immigration lawyer possible.  Finding an immigration lawyer is not as hard as you might think; no matter where you live, you can find a good lawyer virtually anywhere via the World Wide Web.  There are a number of online sites you can go to that list hundreds of well known, and prominent Birmingham immigration lawyers, that will be happy to assist you in your immigration needs.  Finding the right immigration lawyer can make all the difference between successfully fulfilling your immigration needs, and being turned down flat.

Finding the right immigration lawyer is extremely important due to the complexity of immigration law.  Countries all over the world issue visas for different purposes and these laws are always subject to change.  There are different visa applications for students, for tourists, for people just looking to work in that specified county, to people seeking asylum.  There are also separate visas available if you may be related to someone in the country you’re looking to visit or even if you plan on marrying that person.  Immigration law, especially in the UK, can be very complicated, as well as complex, and sometimes very subjective.  Finding the right immigration lawyer might just make or break your immigration case.

You can find a good UK immigration lawyer by just doing a little research.  There are a number of good websites that have plenty of reputable immigration lawyers listed, or you can seek one from a referral from a friend or relative.  Before choosing a lawyer it would be a smart idea to double check the lawyers’ experience and expertise level.  Some immigration lawyers specialize in different areas of immigration law, so do not think that just because they’re immigration lawyers, that they may specialize in the area of law you’re looking for.

Another good idea may be to cross reference different lawyers by contacting other lawyers not directly in their field.  You can contact an immigration lawyer that specializes in asylum law, and ask him if he knows anyone that may be a good choice for deportation case and so on.  You may wish to conduct one or even more phone interviews with the lawyer you have in mind to get a feel for what he or she has to offer.  See if this is a person you can work with and don’t be afraid to ask questions such as their experience and their payment structure.  See if this is someone you can work with and trust.  Having a good working relationship with any lawyer can be your key to success or to failure.
