Important Information for Tier 1 Visa Applications in 2021
Following the end of free movement between the EU and UK from 1 January 2021, all non-UK nationals – including EU nationals (excluding citizens of Ireland) – require a visa for UK entry.
If you, or your family member(s) are a citizen(s) of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, and started living in the UK prior to 1 January 2021, you could be eligible for the free EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS).
The EUSS exempts you from needing a UK visa to remain in the country. You have up until 30 June 2021 to apply for the scheme.
If you do not qualify for the EU Settlement Scheme you will need a visa to invest or start a business in the UK.
Amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, entry to the UK is subject to the current government guidelines.
