However, there are a number of frequently asked questions that arise for those considering applying for leave to remain in the UK as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant. These are addressed below:

Is the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Visa Category Open for Applications?

The category is currently closed to new applicants. In March 2019, the Home Office issued a statement of changes to the immigration rules that the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa category would close at the end of the month. Applications for the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) category remained open until July 2019. It is, however, possible to extend your leave to remain in the UK as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant. Existing applicants can submit extension applications before 6 April 2023.
