How to Obtain a Residence Permit in England

A residence permit for the UK can be one of the most difficult permits to obtain.  Residence permits for foreigners in the UK can be obtained a few different ways. Our residence consultancy firm can help you to determine which road is the most practical for you to take.

Becoming a European citizen has to start somewhere. Why not England? Securing a residence permit for the UK can open up a world of opportunities.   There are some very clear benefits to securing residency in the UK like:
• Access to low cost/no cost health care.
• Access to free higher education.
• Housing and property opportunities.
• Advantageous economic positioning.

The UK has a lot to offer on both a professional and personal level but the process of obtaining a residence permit for the UK absolutely requires professional assistance. The UK has taken steps to tighten the restrictions on receiving a residence permit but with the right support from our consultancy firm it is still a possibility.

Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa

The Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa is one of the easiest ways (with the right support from our consultancy) to get to permanent residence status. You will need:
• £200,000 to invest in a business
• Be able to speak English
• Be at least 16 years old
• Meet the other eligibility requirements (see below)

We can help you with new company formation to help you meet the eligibility requirements.

You must:
• Not be a citizen of the EEA (European Economic Area) or Switzerland
• Show that you can support yourself during your stay
• Provide evidence that you have at least £200,000 for investment in a business.
• Score 95 points on the immigration review

We can easily help you to generate the documents that you need and help you to ensure that you reach the 95 points that are needed for the visa.  This program can be an easy way to secure your residence permit that will be in good standing for 3 years 4 months and is extendable. It is also an easier road than others to permanent residence or “indefinite leave” status.  You can “share” investment funds with a partner, which would mean that you would have to have half of the investment and your partner would have to have half of the investment which would greatly reduce the costs.

With the right advice you can find the right business or the right investment opportunity with the right consultancy on your side. Business consultation is part of our services. You can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to help you secure the right resident permit for your needs.

Our friendly professional staff is here to help you with:
• Business consulting
• Company formation stages
• Setting up a limited liability company
• And meeting all the documentation requirements
