UK Innovator Founder Visa Requirements
Innovation, viability, scalability and the other requirements founders need to understand.
This guide is under review. Immigration rules change regularly, so always confirm current requirements on GOV.UK and with the relevant endorsing body.
The core business criteria
Your business must be innovative (new and different), viable (you have the skills and plan to run it) and scalable (it can create jobs and grow).
Personal requirements
You must be endorsed by an approved endorsing body, meet the English language requirement and show you can support yourself in the UK, unless exempt.
