UK Self-Sponsorship Visa

While there isn’t a formal visa called the self-sponsorship visa, this innovative approach might suit certain individuals. It’s particularly well-suited for experienced entrepreneurs who have a thriving business in their home country and have explored the possibility of replicating it in the UK. However, it’s important for the individual to be physically present in the UK to ensure the success of the business operations.

The initial steps involve establishing a UK-based company and selecting the necessary personnel. Depending on the nature of the business, the company must complete all mandatory registrations and ensure it takes essential measures to establish a legal presence in the UK. These measures include creating business plans, websites, operational models, and opening a business bank account in the UK.

To manage migrant workers and ensure the company complies with UK laws, it should also develop an HR package. Subsequently, the company can apply for a sponsor license. If approved, it can request a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to sponsor not only the owner but also other key individuals who need to be in the UK for successful business activities.

UK Expansion Worker Visa

To be eligible for a UK Expansion Worker visa, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid Certificate of Sponsorship from your employer, work for a business linked to your UK sponsor through common ownership or control, have at least 12 months of prior employment with your current employer outside the UK (unless you earn over £73,900 or are a Japanese national), have a job on the eligible occupations list, earn a minimum salary of £42,400 or the standard rate for your job, demonstrate you have sufficient personal savings available for at least 28 days upon arrival in the UK, and provide valid tuberculosis test results if your country is on the list requiring testing. arrival in the UK, and provide valid tuberculosis test results if your country is on the list requiring testing.

Sponsor requirements

To sponsor a UK Expansion Worker, your business must be a branch or wholly-owned subsidiary of an established overseas company with a valid license for this worker category. This license lasts for 4 years, but the expectation is to establish a full trading presence within 2 years, and it cannot be renewed. If you want to sponsor senior or specialist employees for temporary work in the UK, you can consider Skilled Worker or Senior/Specialist Worker visas and obtain the necessary sponsorship license if you’re already trading in the UK. The good news is that employers sponsoring UK Expansion Workers are not required to pay the Immigration Skills Charge.

Visa duration

Your initial visa will last for one year, starting from your job’s specified date in your Certificate of Sponsorship or the date on your Certificate plus an extra 14 days, whichever is shorter. If you wish to stay in the UK for a longer period, you can apply for an extension, but it is limited to a maximum of 12 months. The total duration permitted under this visa is a maximum of 2 years.

Global Business Mobility Routes

These routes enable foreign workers who are located outside the UK to engage in temporary work assignments within the UK under various categories. The UK offered specific visa categories for international workers, although the details and requirements may have evolved.
