Sole Representative Visa

You can make an application for a sole representative of an overseas business visa if you are a senior employee of an overseas business and would like to come to the UK to set up and run a UK branch or wholly owned subsidiary of that business.
In order to be granted a Sole Representative Visa, a person must:
- Be recruited and employed outside the UK by a company whose headquarters and principal place of business are outside the UK;
- Have extensive related industry experience and knowledge;
- Hold a senior position within the company (but not be a major shareholder) and have full authority to make decisions on its behalf;
