10 weeks of Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa tips – Week 9 – When do I have to create jobs and whom can I hire?

When it comes to the Job Creation rule for Entrepreneur visa migrants , these are 2 most common questions.  Question 1:  when is the deadline for creating 2 jobs and hiring the workers ?    The answer is there is no real deadline other than the visa expiry date minus 12 months, although it is very risky to leave it until that point! The rule is to create 2 full-time jobs for settled workers during the time of the initial visa with each job lasting 12 months. The 1st visa is for 3 years (plus 4 months if you applied outside the UK), so you have all that time.  You can create jobs in the 1st year or in the 2nd or - as often happens - in the 3rd year. As long as you can meet this rule. Each job doesn’t need to be for continuous 12 months , can be one person working for 6 months in year 2 and then replaced by another worker (in the same job) for the other 6 months during the year 3.  Same for the 2nd job.  The absolutely latest would be to wait fo...

Business plan writing service for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa - from a firm of experienced Immigration Entrepreneurs!

A  Business plan is a compulsory requirement for initial Entrepreneur visa applications.   Over the past several years we’ve been dealing with the Entrepreneur visa applications for our clients. As a part of each application, we have to read client’s business plan, ask to make changes and generally, to include the information relevant to the Entrepreneur visa rules as well as based on the questions a client may be asked at an interview (from our experience of clients’ visa interviews). Our experience allowed us to develop an approach to creating the business plans from a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa point of view. Instead of using standard templates, we focus on what the visa officers want to see, i.e. on what a migrant will be required to do while holding this visa: investment of £50,000 or £200,000 and what your client is going to spend it on. For example, paying yourself a salary is not counted, yet it is very common for clients to do this.    Another example wi...

We “stole” the main headline from BBC (article  http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-42169602 ), we ke ep watch as we are b eing protective of Meghan’s immigration status to be legal and intact.  Last week (and before BBC!) we posted a summary of UK marriage visa steps for Meghan ( http://1st4immigration-visas.blogspot.pt/2017/11/uk-marriage-visa-advice-for-meghan.html?m=1 )  Our posts - 100% legally accurate - attracted many comments and we Thank everybody who participated!  The original article claimed Meghan would need 3 years. We rushed to protect Meghan from the wrong advice and explained it’s 5 years. Some of our audience commented it’s 6. Who is right? Interestingly, each answer can be right depending on the circumstances.  3 years. It is still the current rule in the British Nationality law on Naturalisation when it comes to spouses of UK citizens. But... 5 years. There’s another rule - to have permanent residency status , usually referred to as Inde...
