  • Gather Documentation: Prepare the necessary documents. This may include proof of financial resources, business plans, and proof of sponsorship for skilled worker visas.

  • Visa Application: Submit your UK visa application through the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) system. You may need to attend an interview or submit biometric information.
