FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What exactly is the Self-Sponsorship Visa Route?
A: In short – your golden ticket to UK residency! This innovative pathway allows you to establish your own UK company, obtain a sponsor licence, and then sponsor yourself for a Skilled Worker visa. It's entrepreneurship and immigration – beautifully and effectively combined.
Q: Do I need a million-pound idea to qualify?
A: Not at all! While we love innovation, this route is open to a wide range of businesses. From consultancy to retail, all you’ll need is a solid plan combined with the skills to back it up.
Q: How long does the whole process take?
A: Typically, from company setup to holding a visa in hand, you're looking at 3 - 6 months. But remember, good things come to those who wait prepare – we’re here to help with that.
Q: Can I bring my family along?
A: Absolutely! Your spouse/partner and children under 18 can join you on this exciting journey. A ‘Sunday Roast’ in London, anyone?
Q: What about the English language requirement?
A: You'll need to prove your English skills at CEFR level B1 or higher. But don't worry – if you're reading this, you won’t have to worry about that.
Q: Is there a minimum investment required?
A: Unlike some visa routes, there's no set minimum. However, you'll need sufficient funds to establish and run your business effectively. We typically see investments ranging from £25,000 upwards.
Q: What happens if my business doesn't skyrocket immediately?
A: As long as your business is actively trading and you're meeting your visa conditions, you're on track. We're here to help you navigate any bumps in the road.
Q: Can I apply from outside the UK?
A: Yes, you can! Whether you're in Mumbai or Manhattan, we can guide you through the process and have done so successfully for thousands before you.
Q: How does this lead to a permanent residency?
A: After 5 years on this route, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). From there, British citizenship is just around the corner!
Q: Why choose A Y & J Solicitors for this journey?
A: With over 5,000 successful applications done and a track record of guiding 120+ business owners to UK residency in just two years, we're not just experts – we're your dedicated partners in success.
