Tier 1 Entrepreneur Dependent Visa outside UK

Hi All,

One of my friend is on Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa and he got married recently and wants to apply for Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependent visa for his wife. She is currently in India and wants to apply from there.

Now he was confused about one thing - The consultancy man in India said that " Her dependent needs to obtain a police clearance certificate for last one year in order to apply for dependent Visa "

But I haven't seen any such rule for Tier 1 Dependants in policy guidance and conveyed same to him.

So can you guys please confirm that is there any such requirement for dependents applying from outside UK.

So far he has got below documents checklist:

1. Duly completed Application form;
2. Dependent Original Passport & passport sized colour photograph;
3. Sponsorship Declaration from main applicant;
4. Copy of Passport & Biometric Card main applicant;
5. Original Marriage Certificate;
6. Wedding pictures including family group;
7. up-to-date original personal bank statements for maintenance covering more than previous 3 Months;
8. Letter from main applicant's Accountant/ pay slips;
9. Original Tenancy Agreement and Housing – accommodation certificate – fitness;
10. Incorporation Certificate and latest CAR

So Gurus please suggest your thoughts

Don't forget to add criminal record certificate from the country where she is applying, recently one of my friend's wife got rejection due to this.

Very clear :

Adult family members must provide a criminal record certificate from any country they have lived in for 12 months or more in the last 10 years.

Hi Marcnath,

It was mentioned on the above link but in the Policy guidance it clearly says it was only for Tier-2 dependents and for selected Tier 2 applicants applying outside uk

Thats the reason I'm not sure

Hi Kingraja,

As I already mentioned she was in India and planning to apply from India.

Can I Know about your friend's wife visa rejection - Did she applied from India as a Tier 1 dependent ?

As I see criminal record certificate is only for Tier-2 dependents in the policy guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... rs-1-2-4-5

Please let me know if I'm wrong.

If you read it carefully, this only talks about plans to "extend the requirement". I am not sure how you can read it as ONLY Tier2.

Requirement for Tier 1 and dependents has been in place since 2015

She applied under tier 1 entrepreneur dependent category from Pakistan & rejection reason was only not submitting the criminal record certificate.
