The Sole Representative Visa Is Closed - But Not For Dependants!

The Representative of an Overseas Business route (commonly known as the "Sole Representative" route) closed to new main applicants at 9:00am (BST) on 11 April 2022. The Sole Representative visa route has now been replaced by a new Global Business Mobility – UK Expansion Worker route. We will be diving into various aspects of this new route over the coming weeks. However, in this post we look at the position of family members of Sole Representatives and, more specifically, how the closure of the Sole Representative route impacts dependants of Sole Representatives.
