Recent changes in the UK immigration system have made it harder for investors and entrepreneurs to gain access through traditional visa routes, such as the closure of the Investor Visa and the Entrepreneur Visa. However, a new and innovative process called ‘self-sponsorship’ offers a legitimate and attractive alternative for enterprising individuals.
Self-sponsorship involves establishing a UK-limited company and then sponsoring oneself through that company to obtain a Skilled Worker visa. This legal process complies with immigration rules and has been successfully adopted by self-employed business owners in countries like the USA and India. A London-based immigration law firm, A Y & J Solicitors, known for its expertise in pioneering this innovative process, has helped several clients gain legal entry to the UK using the self-sponsorship route.
A shining example of a successful Indian entrepreneur leveraging the self-sponsorship route is Kavita Seeram, an Indian citizen and Director of SK Seasons Ltd. She migrated to the UK and sought the assistance of a law firm to help her navigate the intricate process of sponsoring herself for her own business and settling in the UK. By setting up a limited company in the UK, obtaining a sponsorship license for the company, and then sponsoring herself, Kavita was finally able to establish her presence in the UK.
The self-sponsorship route offers a new way for genuine business owners who do not qualify for regular UK visas to gain access to the British SME market and even possible citizenship. For entrepreneurs who do not meet the rigid criteria of the Innovator Visa, self-sponsorship presents a viable alternative.
The process has already proven successful for entrepreneurs like Jim Blessing Lalmalsawma, Director of JLR Construction and Engineering Ltd in India. After using the self-sponsorship route to establish a company and obtain a Skilled Worker Visa, he highly recommends the service for others looking to expand their businesses to the UK.
The self-sponsorship system also offers business owners a pathway to permanent UK residency. After five years, holders of Skilled Worker visas may qualify for residency, and after six years, they may be eligible for citizenship. This route also allows them to bring their spouses and children under the age of 18 to the UK.
In conclusion, the self-sponsorship route stands out as a promising avenue for Indian entrepreneurs and businesspeople to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations in the UK. By collaborating with seasoned professionals, Indian business owners can expertly navigate their way to success, permanent residency, and UK citizenship.
