The UK Investor visa is a popular category with people who want to come to the UK without the restrictions of a Skilled Worker or Innovator visa. It allows someone with at least £2 million to invest in UK stocks and shares to move to the UK, with their family members, and eventually leads to a right to live in the UK permanently and apply for British citizenship. We can advise you on your eligibility for a UK investor visa and support you through the application process.

How we can help you

While the investor visa requirements seem simple, having the required funds isn’t enough to make a successful application. Depending on the source of funds, and the time they’ve been held for, additional documents may be required. Additionally, Criminal Records checks also apply to this visa category. 

Getting the initial Tier 1 (Investor) visa is only the first step, which is why specialist advice is so essential. This can ensure you qualify for an extension, and then indefinite leave to remain.  

The Home Office has strict rules on how funds should be invested, when the investment should take place, and how it’s managed during the visa. Our specialist team are well-versed in all the fine print. They’ll work closely with you and your financial adviser, guiding you through the process swiftly and cost-effectively. 

We’ve handled Investor visa applications for clients across the world, and can give you practical advice on: 

  • The documents needed for the application to avoid a refusal 
  • The application process you will need to follow and 
  • Long-term considerations—when you can apply for indefinite leave to remain (a right to stay in the UK permanently) 

We also offer a range of fixed-fee packages, including: 

  • Providing advice on how to apply 
  • Preparing visa applications for you 
  • Reviewing supporting documents and 
  • A cover letter for the application

For this firm no question is off limits. It is a great support and explains everything fantastically to both myself and the new employees going through the visa application.

I so wish we had found you sooner. The professionalism, competence, fair fees and excellent customer care you give greatly surpasses what we previously experienced with other major legal firms.

Client feedback

The clarity and quality of advice given was rated as excellent. The firm's service and response time was excellent and we would recommend them. We were kept informed throughout the visa process including all changes that occurred. I do not think we could have navigated the application process on our own. With guidance we were able to apply and I have recently received my approved visa.
