“Self-Sponsorship” Skilled Worker Visa

The “Self-Sponsorship” approach to the Skilled Worker (SSSW) visa route can seem complicated at first glance, but it is, in fact, a much simpler route for applicants to navigate than the only current existing business or investment-driven visa alternative – the Innovator Founder visa. More importantly – it is not a route that has another third party deciding whether or not they believe your business idea is innovative, viable, or scalable – there are no Endorsing Bodies and no requirement that the business you want to run must be novel, new or unlike anything else in the UK – you can run any business you choose to.

Of course, as with any business visa, there are requirements and criteria that must be met, thoroughly researched and correctly managed and then delivered – all of which we at GGBA have a huge wealth of experience in. Over the last few years, we have assisted almost one thousand clients in their respective visa journeys – our job is to make your journey as simple, as swift and as easy as possible.

The most effective way to maximise the ease of your application and the success of your new UK business, is to treat the Sponsor Licence and Skilled Worker applications as if they were undergoing the same prominent level of scrutiny of, for example, the Innovator Founder visa.

In practical terms, what this means is that doing your due diligence on and planning properly for your new UK company and business is the absolute best and most effective way of maximising:

– your overall success chances;
– each application (Sponsor Licence and Skilled Worker visa) having a positive outcome;
– year by year continued success;
– company revenue & profits;
– personal prosperity, wealth and family well-being & happiness;
– the ultimate goal of achieving ILR for you and your loved ones.

GGBA are the UK’s leading and most cost-effective experts in helping clients step-by-step through the SSSW Process.
