    Hi Tom. Please amend the settled worker requirement by include "a person who has been granted limited leave to enter or remain (‘pre-settled status’)". May be its new regulation!

    Just to mention the revolut bank which you mentioned has been listed on Fca. So one on psw who is already doing an e-commerce business and has a company, can they sponsor themselves? (Authorising officer and level 1 users are British )

    how does this work for Influencers and content creators with journalism skills wanting to be a sole trader, which would be the best way to tackle a move to ILR /citizenship to the UK

      @@farrukhzafar4611 Thanks, as explained in this video "self-sponsorship" is only capable of covering a very narrow range of circumstances: the Home Office allows an expansion worker to assign a certificate of sponsorship to themselves (to that extent "self-sponsorship" is possible - there are a number of important requirements that one would have to satisfy first though, it only is capable of covering a very narrow category of people). Also, "self-sponsorship" can describe a situation where someone has e.g. shares in the sponsoring entity. The latter is only permissible where the job is genuine obviously one cannot just set up a company and get it to sponsor you!

    Very interesting information. Hi Tom. Can I apply for self sponsorship visa to live in UK after my pre settlement ends if I am not eligible for settlement status?

    • @TomBradford
      @TomBradford  Год назад +2

      Be super careful on this Ilja. Don’t get into a situation where you, e.g. set up a company in the UK that you 100% own, and then get that company to sponsor you. As I say in this video, that may well fall foul of the ‘genuineness’ requirement etc.
      Also, if you have pre-settled status, you should definitely be aiming for settled status. It would be a very rare case if, e.g. you lost your entitlement to settled status. In the vast majority of cases, it would be crazy to switch from pre-settled status to another route (i.e. any route other than settled status).
      So called “self-sponsorship” can only refer primarily to the Expansion Worker visa. But this is where you are being sent by a parent entity to the UK. That is a million miles from where you are, if you have secured pre-settled status. So please proceed carefully! Make sure to take legal advice on your individual circumstances before deciding how to proceed. I have a consultation service if you want help. Best wishes, Tom

    how it works when the person is inside UK, on the graduate visa?

    • @TomBradford
      @TomBradford  Год назад

      Thanks, I would strongly warn against switching from the Graduate visa to a Skilled Worker visa by an entity that is 100% owned and controlled by you. That is very high risk and as highlighted in this video may fall foul of the “genuineness” criterion, depending on the circumstances of course.
      As for “self-sponsorship” on the Expansion Worker visa, that would involve you being sent to the UK from out of the country by a parent entity, so an in-country switch from the Graduate visa would not be possible. Obviously, do take legal advice on your individual circumstances before deciding how to proceed. I wish you the best, Tom.

    Example a director is a UK resident, is it possible that the director of the business be sponsored on Skill worker at the same business, while he has British worker appointed as i) level 1 user and I) Authorising person ?

    • @TomBradford
      @TomBradford  Год назад

      Thanks for the question. The Home Office will (rightly) refuse applications (whether for the initial visa, the certificate of sponsorship or for the licence itself) if the job is not a genuine one or where is has been created mainly for immigration purposes, etc. If someone is the director of the sponsoring entity then one has to ask whether it would be a genuine. Having a British worker is not determinative of that issue.

    You can't get an ILR on an expansion worker visa which is why most people won't prefer this route
