Home Immigration Services Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa

Tier 1 Entrepreneur, Scotland

Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visas are not available to new applicants, after the programme was closed in March 2019.

However, it has been replaced by two visa programmes, Innovator Visas and Start-up Visas.

If you already hold an Entrepreneur Visa, you can still renew this or use this as part of an application for indefinite leave to remain.

Our Tier 1 Entrepreneur solicitors will be able to help you process any visa extensions, or advise on which visa programme is right for you.
