Fedor is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Without him I would have been so lost with the immigration rules and would not have been comfortable enough to apply for a start up visa without his help.

You also need to provide a bank account with a balance of at least £1,555. You need to show £315 in your account for the first child, and an additional £200 for each subsequent child.

To obtain Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK, you need to live in the country for 3 to 10 years, depending on your chosen path. After that, you can apply for citizenship after residing in the UK for at least 5 years, including 1 year with ILR.
At the moment, the Start-up visa programme is closed and has been replaced by the Innovator Founder visa. You can find out more about why the Start-up visa was discontinued

The Start-up Visa was available until 2019, when it was replaced by the Innovator Visa. The Innovator Visa was then replaced by the Innovator Founder Visa in April 2023. We assist clients with applying for the Innovator Founder Visa and support them throughout the entire process to citizenship.
