The UK TIER 1 ENTREPRENEUR VISA allows you to set up or take over an active business in the United Kingdom while residing with your family. Through this route, Esse India helps entrepreneurs secure an initial stay of 3 years and 4 months, plus a 2-year extension. After 5 years, candidates can apply for permanent settlement. By partnering with Esse India, applicants easily access key UK benefits, including free NHS healthcare and public schooling. Esse India provides expert immigration support to ensure your business transition to the UK is seamless and fully compliant.
Applicants for the UK TIER 1 ENTREPRENEUR VISA must have £200,000 in personal or third-party business funds. Alternatively, a two-member entrepreneurial team can apply by investing £100,000 each. Esse India guides clients in verifying that these funds are held in a regulated financial institution. Additionally, all capital must be fully transferable to the UK for business investments. Candidates need to prove B1-level English proficiency through an approved UKVI test with at least a 4.0 score in each module—reading, writing, listening, and speaking. A recognized bachelor’s degree or a UK NARIC equivalency assessment also satisfies this requirement. Consulting Esse India ensures applicants meet language criteria seamlessly. Finally, candidate profiles evaluated by Esse India must demonstrate sufficient access to required personal maintenance funds throughout the UK visa application process.
