Sole Representative Visa
Setup Business in UK
The Overseas Business visa, commonly referred to as the Sole Representative visa, allows companies based outside the United Kingdom to set up a commercial presence by appointing a senior employee as their exclusive representative.
Ridgeway Advisors provide extensive Sole Representative visa services for the UK and the Isle of Man (which is part of the British Isles), with the Isle of Man presenting several appealing advantages.
What is a Sole Representative?
Leveraging the expertise and support of Canfields Law (of which Visa Kings Global is a part), we assist in establishing a genuine, active trading company that showcases the skills of the non-EEA national seeking residence—and potentially citizenship—in the United Kingdom.
We also have a dedicated team and strong connections on the Isle of Man, which we use to maximize our clients’ chances of a successful application and to provide the appropriate business support thereafter.
Key Benefits
- A sole representative can open a new branch on behalf of the overseas business.
- Offers an excellent opportunity to expand into the lucrative UK and Irish markets.
- Provides a pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years representing the parent company, with the potential to obtain a UK passport thereafter.
- Allows the sole representative to bring their family, including spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner, and dependent children.
