Visa Process

The Tier 1 Investor Visa

The Tier 1 Investor Visa was created to attract high-net-worth individuals willing to make substantial financial investments in the UK economy. Its primary aim was to stimulate economic growth by encouraging foreign investors to channel their wealth into businesses and development within the country. This visa serves as a gateway for individuals looking to make the UK their home while simultaneously contributing to its prosperity.

Current holders of Tier 1 Investor Visa enjoy various benefits, including:
