Today I want to talk to you about the Tier 1 Investor visa.
This is an exclusive UK program that allows high net worth individuals and their dependents to live and work in the UK while investing in one of the most desirable economies in the world. It leads to a British citizenship and a British passport for those who meet the criteria.
The Investor Visa requires a minimum investment of £2 Million.
Higher investments of 5 Million pounds and 10m pounds will enable an expedited ILR (Indefinite leave to remain) also known as permanent residency or settlement process.
With a Tier 1 Investor Visa you and your dependents can live and work in the UK for up to three years and four months, and then you could qualify for another two-year extension.
Once you have lived in the UK for five years, you could qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). You might further qualify for British citizenship, and your British passport.
Those who invest 5 Million pounds can apply for ILR after 3 years, and those who invest 10 Million pounds can apply for ILR after 2 years.
For each of these options, there are residence requirements that must be met.
The investment funds must be available to be spent in the UK and maintained in a regulated financial institution. You will need to prove the source of the money unless you’ve had it for at least three months and that the money is transferable to the UK.
If the investment funds belong to your partner, further documentation is required. The date you enter the UK is considered your investment start date. From this point, you have three months to invest the full amount of funds.
This investment cannot be in property investment, management, or development, or in companies who mainly deal in such activities. It must be invested mainly in the UK trading companies or bonds.
The Tier 1 Investor Visa is an excellent opportunity for high net worth individuals and their dependents to live and work in the UK that lead towards the British citizenship.

Tier 1 Investor Requires Visa Extension A Y & J Solicitors assisted an Investor in securing her extension for a further period of two years as a Tier 1 (Investor) in the UK. Mrs J arrived in the United Kingdom…
"I was came in the uk as student then I got my PSW visa and wanted to start a genuine business in the UK, but I had little understanding of company formation and the complex rules involved. It felt overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn for help. Thankfully, a friend recommended AY and J Solicitors, and working with them was the best decision I made. From the very first consultation with Mihir, I explained my plans, and the team quickly began guiding me through each step—from turning my ideas into a formal business plan to successfully registering my company. I had numerous questions, particularly about the self-sponsorship process, but Diana, Ashu, and Surabhi were always available to support me and make sure I understood every detail. Ashu was especially helpful. She was patient, always answered my questions clearly, and gave me the confidence to move forward. When we applied for the sponsor license, I was nervous about the outcome, but Ashu was confident we’d receive a positive result—and we did! The license was approved in just three days. Then, my Skilled Worker visa was approved in only four days, which was a huge relief. Thanks to the team’s expertise and dedication, the entire process felt seamless and stress-free. If you’re considering the self-sponsorship route, I highly recommend AY and J Solicitors. They made everything simple and guided me every step of the way. Without their help, I would not have been able to start my business or secure the necessary visa. I’m extremely grateful to Diana, Ashu, and Surabhi for making my dream a reality. A big thank you to the entire team, and I’m thrilled to give you a well-deserved 5-star review!"
"I really appreciate everything my lawyer Ikra Ahmed has done for me. The successful applicantion proves the hard work and professionalism of Ikra. We went through so much while we were waiting for the decision. She was very responsive, patient, quick with her submission, always have plans for the next step, always available for questions and answers. I couldn't recommend her more. I also appreciate A Y & J Solicitors for setting me up with Ikra. 10 stars for my experience with the firm and Ikra. I am very pleased that I have chosen them."
"I cannot recommend Raj Kaur highly enough! She successfully handled my case for an unmarried partner visa. From the very first consultation, Raj took the time to fully understand my situation, providing clear guidance on what was required and addressing every concern with patience and clarity. What stood out most was her attention to detail. She meticulously reviewed all the required documents, ensured everything was submitted correctly, and prepared me for each step of the process. Thanks to Raj’s hard work and expertise, my visa was approved without any issues. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer I wholeheartedly recommend Raj Kaur. Thank you again for everything!"
