Self-Sponsorship Visa

EAM Globals

Your Entryway into UK Entrepreneurship

The UK Self-Sponsorship Visa provides a route for you to live and work in the UK under the Skilled Worker Visa category if you’re an aspiring entrepreneur seeking to start or grow your business in the country. Although there isn’t a special visa known as a “Self-Sponsorship Visa,” you can use this path to form a UK firm with the help of a director who is a UK resident and would then sponsor you to work in the nation.

Requirements for UK Self-Sponsorship Visa

In order to be eligible for the Self-Sponsorship Visa, candidates must fulfil a number of requirements, such as:

  1. Age and Company Structure: You need to have a UK company with a director who resides in the UK and be older than eighteen.
  2. Sponsor License: A Sponsor License is required for your business.
  3. Occupation & pay: Your employment in the UK must provide a minimum pay commensurate with the work role and be included in the list of qualifying occupations.
  4. Financial Requirements: You must show that you have the money necessary to cover the maintenance obligation.
  5. Language Proficiency: To demonstrate your language skills, you must pass an English language test.

Documents Required for UK Self-Sponsorship Visa Application

It’s important to make sure you have all the supporting documentation ready when applying for a UK Self-Sponsorship Visa. Here’s a summary of the main documents that are usually needed:


Passport: You cannot prove your nationality or identity without a valid passport. Verify that your passport still has enough validity left on it and that it has all required entry stamps and visas.

The Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS):is proof that your UK-based employer is supporting your immigration application. It is provided by them. The CoS includes details about your position, pay, and length of work.

Letter of Support from the UK Company: Having your UK company support your application in writing will help to make your case stronger. In addition to outlining your responsibilities within the company and your worth to it, this letter should reaffirm the company’s pledge to sponsor your visa.

Academic Qualifications: Documentation of your schooling, such as transcripts or degree certificates, must be provided. These records prove your suitability for the position and might be necessary for some jobs.

Bank Statements: To prove that you can sustain yourself financially while visiting the UK, bank statements outlining your financial status are required. Make that the relevant period is covered by your bank statements, and that there are enough cash there to satisfy the maintenance demand.

Results of the English Language Test: If you are applying for a visa and English is not your first language, you will probably need to take and submit the results of an authorized English language test. Verify that the results of your test fulfill the minimal language competency requirements set forth by UK immigration officials.
