On 20 July 2015, the UKVI announced new rules for Tier 1 (Investor and Entrepreneur) applicants to crackdown on foreign criminals entering the UK. From 1 September 2015, non-EEA migrants applying for a visa to set up a business or invest in the UK will be required to provide an overseas criminal record certificate from every country they have lived in during the previous 10 years.<\/p>\n

The new requirements will be launched in phases. The initial phase of the scheme will apply to Tier 1 visa applicants who are seeking entry as investors or entrepreneurs, and their dependants. However, the current change will not affect Tier 1 extensions or in-country switching applications.<\/p>\n

The updated Tier 1 (Investor) guidance and Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) guidance can be found on UKVI website. If you are uncertain about the necessary documentations in connection with your current Tier 1 visa application to enter the UK and wish to seek expert legal advice, please email us at info@migraco.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
