This morning I have received my endorsement letter from Arts Council and now I need to start the process of getting ready for Stage 2. I’m currently in UK with Turkish Business Person visa and have established my own ltd company and working here as its director. However, I need to go back to Istanbul to apply for entry clearance. What I was wondering, according to your experience, when should I apply to Tier 1 visa. My visa expires on February 13 so I’m not exactly sure if I need to apply before it experies or after. Also, if someone can explain the stage 2 process briefly -the documents that I need to gather differs from the normal visa applications and all would be really helpful. Thank you so much
