The UK Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa: All you Need to Know

• You are able to work for your own business as a self-employed individual, provided the work meets the criteria for being self-employed.
• Such applications are assessed using a points system where the applicants are required to score a full 95 points to be granted this visa. These points’ requirements are calculated on the basis of factors like investment funds, language skills and maintenance funds.
