The United Kingdom is one of the destinations chosen by both young people and adults to reside. The big island is attractive because it offers tax and legal advantages for those who wish to start a business there or find a stable job. 

There are different schemes to achieve residency. You can be an entrepreneur, a company representative or someone looking for a job offer. Rest assured that with that status you qualify for the following types of visas that we will discuss below.

Innovator Visa and Partner Innovator Visa

This type of visa is designed for those who aim to set up or run a business in the UK or for those looking to join a UK partner. 

The requirements are:
