What is an Innovator Visa?
The Innovator Visa is designed for entrepreneurs who want to set up and run an innovative business in the UK. This route is aimed at individuals with original business ideas that are different from anything already in the market. To qualify, applicants must have their business plan endorsed by an approved UK endorsing body.
The Innovator Visa provides a pathway for experienced businesspeople to establish scalable ventures, contribute to the UK economy, and create jobs. Holders of this visa can bring dependants, work on their business idea full-time, and after 3 years, may become eligible to apply for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
