It depends on what route you are going from...


1) £200K

OR

2) £50K

HI

50K

Applying from Pakistan for £50K?

I believe you are going through FCA regulated firm's approval of £50K

You need same set of documents which you would be providing as if you were applying in the UK#


1) Approval Letters** from FCA approved body & supporting document
2) Maintenance Money Document
3) English Proficiency Document (Degree* or English Certificate)
4) Passport


*check on points calculator if your degree is acceptable by UKBA
** they are usually different from the ones who apply in the UK. More like invitation letters.

Hi

I am applying for prospective entrepreneur not for TIER 1 entrepreneur.

Can you advise.

When applying for Prospective Entrepreneur, what are you going to do after six months? That's the more important question.

You cannot apply for Prospective Entrepreneur via 50K route using your own money. You must have £200K.

So, first of all, find out what you want to do.

Through Venture Capital Firm

Exactly.

So, you will be extending your Prospective Entrepeneur into Tier 1 Entrepreneur Category inside UK, but you want to apply for Prospective Entrepreneur first.

Prospective Entrepreneur is a C-category visit visa with 6 months of validity. It can only be converted into Tier 1 Entrepreneur application (with fees of £1051) inside UK

What you currently need are following doc:

1) Invitation Letter from Venture Capital firm (make sure they are in FCA's list, Take a print out and put it in file too)
2) Passport
3) Maintenance Money (equivalent to £3100 for 90+ days)
4) English Proficiency (either recognized Degree+Transcript taught in English / OR / English Certificate with min. B1 Level)

That's all. You have to fulfill same conditions in terms of supporting documents as it is for Tier 1 Entrepreneur. I'm telling you this through experience

If you are using £200K why do you need a VC? If you use VC you can save £150K as the funding required is only £50K. Do you already have a VC firm that can support your application?

Thanks
