employee requirement ILR 10 YEARS ROUTE

Hi everyone

I need some help. I am applying next year november for my ILR(10 Year route) as my 10 year stay in uk is going to complete NOV next year . I have recently got extension for Tier 1 Enterpreneur (50K) route. I asked my solicitor whether I need to hire two full time employees till november or not, according to him as I am going to apply under 10 year route and my 10 years complete before tier 1 expiry, I don't need to keep two full time employee till my ILR application date. Is this true as I don't want to risk anything .


Kind Regards

Correct. Under long residence you do NOT need to maintain two positions in your business given that the Tier 1E requirements for ILR do not apply. Remember that does NOT mean you could be in breach of the Tier 1E conditions of stay (like losing access to the money for investment or working in capacity of an employee, etc)

Zimba Very useful comment, is there any chance that case worker/HO might ask for the business documents at the time of ILR application?? will this not effect the LR application. thank you.

Anything is possible. The caseworker can assume you took the ENT visa just to complete your time for ILR other wise.
Register urself to begin with.
It took me about a year and half establishing my business to a stage where it required a number of employees.

1. Useful to ask questions in your own topic so as not to create confusion in this OPs thread.

2. HO could and do often ask for extra documents. They have a right to check that all visa conditions for all visa categories held by an applicant have beene met.
