The Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa category closed for initial applications on 30 March 2019 and has been replaced by the Innovator visa. Although new applications for the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa are no longer accepted, if you are already in the UK on a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa, you can still apply for an extension or renewal. Additionally, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur migrant. Dependents of Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa holders can also apply for a dependent visa to join or remain with them in the UK.

Extension of Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa UK

If you’re currently in the UK on a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa but are not yet eligible for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa, you can apply for an extension. It’s important to submit your Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extension application within 28 days before your current leave expires. Please note that the extension application must be made through the Standard Service, as the Home Office UKVI does not offer Priority or Super Priority Service for Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extensions. Typically, the Home Office takes 3 to 6 months to process Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extension applications.

“Despite the closure of the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa route, existing Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrants are still eligible to apply for a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extension until 6 April 2023. If you initially switched from the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) visa to the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa, you have until 6 July 2025 to submit your extension application. Aden & Co Solicitors specialize in providing expert legal assistance for Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extensions, ensuring your application meets all Home Office requirements for a successful outcome.”

An applicant seeking an extension of their Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa must have successfully invested the required funds—either £50,000 or £200,000—and created at least two full-time jobs for settled workers in their UK business, with each job lasting a minimum of 12 months.

At Aden & Co Solicitors, our specialist team of business visa solicitors and lawyers in London provides expert immigration advice and legal representation on a fixed-fee basis for Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa extension applications. We have the experience and knowledge to ensure your application is fully compliant with UK immigration rules.

ILR As A Tier 1 Entrepreneur

You may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur after 5 years of UK residence, or after 3 years if applying through the accelerated settlement route. The application for ILR as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur is submitted online, and it’s important for applicants to monitor their UK absences and meet the specific ILR requirements for the Tier 1 Entrepreneur category.

While the Home Office does not offer a Super Priority Service for ILR applications under this route, you can expect decisions via the standard service within 3 to 6 months. At Aden & Co Solicitors, we offer comprehensive legal assistance to guide you through this process and ensure your ILR application is as strong as possible.

“Existing Tier 1 Entrepreneur applicants are eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) as a Tier 1 Entrepreneur before 6 April 2025. However, those Tier 1 Entrepreneur Migrants who previously switched from a Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa can submit their ILR application before 6 July 2027.”

At Aden & Co Solicitors, our specialist team of immigration solicitors is highly experienced in handling Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa ILR applications. As expert Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa solicitors, we bring extensive knowledge and expertise in navigating the complexities of ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) applications for Tier 1 Entrepreneur migrants. Our top-rated immigration solicitors offer professional immigration advice and fixed-fee legal services tailored to your ILR application needs, whether you are applying under the standard route (5 years) or the accelerated route (3 years).
