Question about self-employed

Post by parster » Fri May 07, 2021 1:49 pm

Hello, I am happy to join the group! Hope everyone's doing well, I just have a question which I still trying to find a satisfying answer. I would like to ask whether is it possible for an EU national to come to the UK as self- employed and start a business. Does Brexit forbids it now? Do I need specific paperwork? I have Greek nationality by the way, and I would like to come to the UK to start my own business. I would appreciate if anybody could assist me

Thank you so much guys for your time!

I am afraid Brexit means that any EEA citizen who did not live here before 1 January 2021 will need a visa to work in the UK. The UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa route was closed to new applicants two years ago. If you want to start a business in the UK, you can apply under either the Star-up visa or the Innovator visa. You are required to show that you want to set up a viable start-up or build an innovative business. You can read about their requirements in the links below:
