Immigration services for the tech sector

Home Services Immigration Immigration services for the tech sector

Our market leading immigration team has provided services to the tech sector for many years, from entrepreneurs in the early stages of establishing start-ups to the largest global organisations.

The UK’s immigration rules present a range of options for tech entrepreneurs and companies seeking to relocate to and set up business ventures in the UK. We recognise the immigration issues you typically have to deal with, including for example:

Quickly securing a flexible immigration status for the founder of the business which allows for the business to go in any direction and provides the swiftest route to indefinite leave to remain
Being able to efficiently recruit a team of specialist technical staff when you need them, regardless of where they are from
Applying for a sponsor licence for a business when it is in its earliest stages and does not necessarily have traditional office premises and staffing structures
Establishing a new UK base for a tech business currently operating outside the UK
Obtaining a suitable UK immigration status for talented tech entrepreneurs who wish to start their own innovative business
You may already be a global organisation that needs to transfer staff from one office to another in order to share skills and experience
