Global Business Mobility

The Home Office UK has made some significant changes to the UK immigration rules for entrepreneurs and professionals seeking opportunities to start their businesses or career in the UK.

One very popular business immigration route in the UK was the ‘Representative of an Overseas Business visa’ (also called the UK Sole Representative visa), which was unfortunately closed down on April 11th, 2022, for new applicants.

Instead, the Home Office launched a few new visas, amended some existing ones, and introduced a special category called “Global Business Mobility”, which has five visas under it that cater to business owners in the UK, business owners outside of the UK, and skilled professionals. These visas come into effect on April 11th, 2022.
