I have been in the UK on Tier 4 for 5 years and currently graduating from Bournemouth University(South England). I am planning to invest £50,000 in the business which company is registered in the UK. I do not have an innovative idea (or whatsoever) so went to the last paragraph of terms&conditions and found this:
"You can also apply if you’ve already invested £50,000 in a UK business.You must have invested the funds less than 12 months before you apply."
However, I did not understand the next part: The funding rules are different if you’re changing (switching) from another visa, or if you’ve already had a UK visa."
It seems a bit confusing еto me, and some of the advisors that I've been in contact with said that it clearly states that I can invest £50K and switch to Tier 1, others, however, say that it is NOT possible and the only £200k route is the one that I can use...I am really confused at the moment. Does anyone know anything about this kind of switching to Tier 1? Or have anyone done the same before?
Many thanks for your help and advice!
Kind regards,
Alisa
