In this series we will address the common mistakes the applicants make when applying to come or to remind in the UK with their British partner. We will put the most common one - by far - at the end in Week 10. So, the UK Immigration Rules require to have income of £18600 or savings of ... how much? There is so much confusion! The mistake people make here is assuming that they need savings of also £18600.  Then they may spot a requirement of “savings over £16000”. Both amounts are wrong, the correct answer is the whopping amount of £62500! The threshold of £18600 applies to income, not savings. The amount of savings is calculated using a specific formula. The first £16000 aren’t taken into account at all. This part of the calculation is often taken out of context, so many wrongly thing they are OK as long as they have £16000, but it’s only the 1st part. Then the target amount £18600 is multiplied by 2.5 to reflect the Spouse visa length of 2.5 years. We get: £18600 x 2.5 +

Week 1 –  How much money do I actually need, GBP 200 000 or 50 000? Week 2 – It only works if you are a “genuine” applicant / entrepreneur and have “genuine” funds “genuinely” available! Week 3 – Raise the funds that will remain available after you secure your visa. Week 4 - Your business idea must be realistic, not too generic and in-demand in the UK economy. Week 5 – Entrepreneurial (dream) teams. Week 6 – Business plan is the key! And the keys to a successful business plan. Week 7 – How to invest GBP 200,000 and what to spend it on? Week 8 – When to invest GBP 200,000? IS there a deadline, such as within 6 months, every year etc? Can I move from one business to another? Week 9 – When do I have to create jobs and whom can I hire? Week 10 – Frequently Asked Questions and Compliance.

We have been planning to clarify the issue of savings for a Spouse visa for some time now - there’s so Michu confusion! We have been also “advising” Meghan and Prince Harry on a UK Spouse visa in this blog. Then we saw her wearing a £56000 designer dress on the official photos: http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/style/celebrity-fashion/meghan-markle-official-engagement-dress-11732777 . We couldn’t help thinking “That’s almost the amount of savings to meet the Financial Requirement of the Immigration Rules !” Time to clarify the Savings rule. (Perhaps when Meghan bought THAT  dress she didn’t realise it would have “bought” her a Spouse visa - Meghan, you need a good immigration law firm like 1st 4Immigration !) So, there’s a lot of confusion. Do I need £18609 in savings? Or maybe £16000? The correct answer is the whopping amount of £62500! (We did say the cost of that dress was close.) The threshold of £18600 applies to income, not savings. The amount of savings is calculated using

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 will be including a plan o
