Innovator Founder Visa in the UK: Legal Support for Entrepreneurs

Innovator Founder Visa UK is one of the key business immigration routes to the United Kingdom for foreign entrepreneurs. This visa category is designed for both startup founders and experienced business owners planning to launch or relocate an innovative business to the UK.

Since April 2023, this route has replaced the former Tier 1 Innovator Visa, and the requirements have become more flexible. In particular, applicants are no longer required to invest a fixed amount of capital. However, the business project must still meet strict eligibility criteria.

What Is the Innovator Founder Visa and Who Is It For?

The Innovator Founder Visa is intended for entrepreneurs who can demonstrate that their business idea is:

  1. innovative and original;

     
  2. economically viable;

     
  3. scalable and capable of growth in the UK market.

     

This immigration route is suitable for those who plan to:

  1. start a business in the UK;

     
  2. relocate an existing company;

     
  3. develop a startup under UK jurisdiction.

     

Visa Duration and Extension

The Innovator Founder Visa UK is granted for three years. After this period, applicants may apply for an extension, provided they can prove that their business continues to meet the program requirements and shows ongoing development.

Required Documents for the Application

 

To apply for the visa, a comprehensive set of documents must be prepared, including:

  1. a completed visa application form;

     
  2. a valid passport;

     
  3. proof of English language proficiency;

     
  4. a business plan and an endorsement letter;

     
  5. information about the management team (if applicable);

     
  6. financial documents confirming the applicant’s financial stability.

     

The list of required documents may vary depending on individual circumstances, which is why legal consultation before applying is highly recommended.

Innovator Founder Visa Application Fees

The government fee depends on where the application is submitted:

£1,191 — if applying from outside the UK;
 

£1,486 — if applying for an extension or switching visas within the UK.



Bringing Family Members to the UK

Holders of the Innovator Founder Visa are allowed to bring their immediate family members to the UK, including a partner and financially dependent children under 18. Additional financial requirements apply and depend on the size of the family.
