Self-Sponsorship

Why is Self-Sponsorship Possible?

Since the Skilled Worker Visa scheme replaced the Tier 2 visa, there are no restrictions on shareholdings, meaning you can come to the UK as a Skilled Worker even if you are the only shareholder.

Who is Eligible for Self-Sponsorship?

If you have a company in the UK, or if you have purchased a business in the UK and have sufficient resources to support it, or if you are planning to set up a business in the UK with financial ability, you are eligible for self-sponsorship.

Business Requirements for Self-Sponsorship

There are no restrictions on the type of business, as long as it is legal in the UK. Unlike the Start-up Visa, you’ll need a unique business idea that an endorsing body approves.

Steps to Self-Sponsorship

The procedure involves setting up a business in the UK, applying for a sponsor license, and sponsoring yourself as a skilled worker.
