To apply for the self-sponsorship visa, individuals must meet the following criteria:
For those wanting to establish or expanding their business in the UK, the UK Self-Sponsorship Visa presents an enticing opportunity towards both professional and personal growth. Individuals can access this pathway under the Skilled Worker Visa category, enabling them to set up and operate a UK-based company, sponsored by a UK resident director.
The start of the journey towards a Self-Sponsorship Skilled Worker Visa involves establishing a UK company. This step requires either registering a new company in the UK or having access to a previously registered one. While non-UK residents can indeed register a UK company, certain requirements and obligations must be met by all directors, regardless of residency status.
The key requirement for the UK company looking to apply for a sponsor license is to have a UK based director who can act as an authorising officer for the purpose of sponsor license.
If you are looking to register a new UK company, Visio Consultants can help you to complete the process of incorporation in few easy steps.
Once the UK company is established and Skilled Worker sponsor licence is received, the next step for the UK business will be to sponsor the individual under the Skilled Worker visa route. This requires the issuance of Certificate of Sponsorship CoS to the applicant in order to make the Skilled Worker Visa application.
By successfully completing these steps, applicants can start their journey towards running their own business, unlocking opportunities for personal and professional growth in the UK.
