Understanding the New Innovator Founder Visa

Labor and employment counsel Claire Nilson and paralegal Abilio Jaribu coauthored an article for SME that discusses the Innovator Founder visa, a new immigration route for foreign entrepreneurs who want to establish a business in the United Kingdom.

Nilson and Jaribu provide an overview of the application process for the Innovator Founder visa, which consists of securing an endorsement from a Home Office-approved endorsing body and submitting a visa application to the Home Office. The authors outline applicant and business criteria and note the advantages of the new visa over its predecessor routes.
