Yes, you can definitely sponsor yourself in the UK via certain visa routes like the Self Sponsorship route or the Innovator Founder Visa route. These visa routes allow you to sponsor yourself by letting you set up or run a business in the UK without needing any employer to employ or sponsor you. However, the only catch here is that the eligibility criteria for both of these visa routes is riddled with strictness and they need a thorough documentation for the same.
