The UK Border Agency
has announced that it will be writing to all those who applied for Tier 1
(Entrepreneur) visas before 31st January 2013 and who have yet to have their
applications decided.
The UKBA released a
statement on Wednesday 20th March in which it said that it was likely that it
would request further information from applicants. In particular, it said it
might ask applicants for
• Additional information such as
business plans, market research reports and so forth to show that the applicant
was a genuine entrepreneur
• Proof that they still have access to
the funds that they used in support of their applications. If the funds have
been moved from their accounts into a business account, then the UKBA will want
to see the business's accounts or other proof of that transaction.
The UKBA says that
applicants will have 28 days to provide the information requested and warns
that it may make checks on information provided to prove that it is correct.
The UKBA has also said
that it will no longer be able to allow applicants for Tier 1 (Entrepreneur)
visas to pay for a premium 'same day' service. This is because the checks that
need to be made are so extensive that the UKBA will have no chance of
completing them in a same day time frame
