Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa from India

Post by dgrj.jain » Sun Dec 07, 2014 6:27 pm

Hello,

I would like to apply for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa for my sister who is in India at the moment. I have calculated her points and qualifies for the same. However, I have a few questions for the same:

1. We need to apply showing 200,000 GBP in UK or India bank account - either on her name or partnered.
2. How long does the process take?
3. Do we need to submit a business plan?
4. How much time does one get before you can invest the money once you have arrived here in UK?
5. Do you have to invest the entire GBP 200,000 in one go or you can do it as and when you want?
6. Also those who have applied and visas accepted and have already arrived here in the UK - can someone suggest of the kind of business ideas been looked at or what businesses are they into. Just to get an idea.

I am also putting my email down incase someone wants to email me directly: dgrj.jain@gmail.com

I am eagerly waiting for a reply.

Many thanks,

DJ

Hi DJ,

Most of the answers to your questions are already addressed in the UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Visa Policy Guidance - Nov 2014. Please go through it thoroughly, it's better you understand it first before asking questions on this forum.

I am also in the process of applying very soon for the visa from India, and can offer you any guidance possible from my side regarding the application ordeal. You can reach me at krishna9780@hotmail.com

All the best.
