What is a Start-up Visa?
The UK Start-up Visa is designed for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to establish an innovative business in the UK for the first time. Unlike other visa categories, this route is for individuals who may not yet have business experience but can demonstrate a high-potential, innovative idea endorsed by an approved UK endorsing body.
The Start-up Visa offers an opportunity to bring new business concepts into the UK market, allowing entrepreneurs to grow their ventures and contribute to the economy. This visa is valid for 2 years and cannot be extended, but successful applicants may switch to the Innovator Visa to continue scaling their business.
