Entrepreneur Visa Extension

The Entrepreneur Visa extension requires you to prove that your business has been a success for your initial time in the UK. You will need to provide evidence that you:

• Have been working as a Company Director within six months of being issued your first Entrepreneur Visa; or
• Have been self-employed and running your business during this time

The business must also have been beneficial to the UK economy.

You must have proof that you have correctly invested the entire £50,000 or £200,000 from your initial application.

The business you are applying with must also be the same business from the business plan you entered the country with.

You will also need to prove that you continue to meet the other Tier 1 regulations under the points-based system.

You will need to prove that your business has provided at least two full-time paying jobs for employees settled in the UK.

You will also need to prove that you intend to continue running the same business during your extended leave.

It is important to note that an application for an Entrepreneur Visa extension is different when in the country to being elsewhere.

You can apply by post for an extension if you are in the country, from outside you can only apply online.

There are many things which will affect your Entrepreneur Visa extension. If your situation changes, you may be asked to attend another Home Office interview or to supply more evidence.

The important thing to remember when applying for an extension is you must apply before your Tier 1 Visa expires.

If your visa extension application is not approved before the end of your current leave, you will be considered an over-stayer. You will then be subject to immigration penalties or removal from the country.

If you would like to extend your Entrepreneur Visa, you must ensure that you submit your application before your current visa ends.
