» You will initially get a visa valid for a period of 12 months. During this time you

must usually make the full investment and create the required 2 jobs. At the end

of this first year, the visa can be extended by applying to the Home Office.

» The extension application will need to be accompanied by documentation showing

the progress that your business has made; as long as the business looks viable, the

investment has been made, and the jobs have been created, then the Home Office

will normally grant a three-year extension to your visa.

» After a total of 4 years in the UK you may apply for indefinite leave to remain

(Permanent Residence). A year after being granted indefinite leave to remain you

may apply for naturalization as a British citizen
