Visa Services

There are various Visa options for businesses setting up in the UK, the Innovator Visa and Sole representative Visa. Sapphire works alongside specialist legal partners who address the Visa application process and advise accordingly. The visa application process is a by-product of developing a full investment appraisal and broader understanding of associated costs of setting up a UK-based business, along with hiring local staff, etc if required. This not only provides the framework for the Visa application process but a platform for implementing a strategy to achieve business success once set up in the UK.

Innovator Visa

The UK Government has a programme which allows innovators to start their business in the UK.

There are several requirements that the Government requires; Sapphire Innovation can provide a specialised service to develop 'innovation' designed to help meet application requirements.

This visa presents an exciting opportunity for those that have the talent and desire to start a new entrepreneurial business in the United Kingdom with the possibility of obtaining permanent residents' status after 3 years.

Sole Representative Visa

If starting a subsidiary business in the UK, the Sole Representative Visa scheme might be the preferred solution.

For overseas nationals wanting to work in the UK for their company or expand their business into the UK, the Representative of an Overseas Business Visa, (mostly referred to as a Sole Representative Visa) provides a strong solution. This visa allows you to live and work in the UK for 3 years, and to bring your dependents to the UK where they can work without restriction.
