Tier 1 Visa

A Tier 1 Visa was a UK visa category allowing high-skilled individuals, entrepreneurs, and investors to live and work in the UK. It aimed to attract talented professionals and significant investors to boost the economy. The category included options like the General Work Visa, Investor Visa, and Innovator Visa. However, the Tier 1 Visa route was phased out in favor of newer immigration routes as part of the UK’s immigration reforms. The concept centered on bringing in individuals with exceptional skills or substantial financial investments, offering a pathway to residency and, ultimately, indefinite leave to remain.
