What is the UK's New Innovator Founder Visa Route?

London attorneys Claire Nilson and Abilio Jaribu coauthored an article for Investment Monitor that provides a rundown on the U.K.’s Innovator Founder visa, which launched on April 13, 2023.

The authors explain that the visa is a new immigration route designed for entrepreneurs wishing to establish a U.K. business based on an idea they have generated or to which they significantly contributed. They also detail the application process for the visa and its requirements.

Nilson and Jaribu note that the Innovator Founder route presents an interesting proposition to any entrepreneur wishing to establish a U.K. business with a degree of flexibility not seen in other visa categories.
