The UK has launched the much-awaited Scale-up visa promising to make it cheaper and easier for fast-growing firms to sponsor and hire highly-skilled migrants, such as programmers, scientists, financial advisers, economists, engineers, HR managers.
The Scale-up visa is a very flexible route to settlement together with dependants.
It is an attractive work visa for employers as the set-up is streamlined, the cost and administrative burden relatively low. Applying to be able to sponsor Scale-up Workers is easier and cheaper than other comparable sponsor licences.
To qualify scale-ups must have annualised growth in either staff or turnover of at least 20% over the past three years, with at least ten staff to begin with.
You can read more about the new Scale-up visa, eligibility and the pros and cons in our full explainer of the new visa here.
