YOU MAY WONDER... ## Frequently Asked Questions ## Frequently Asked Questions When do I need to invest? When granted your initial Tier 1 Investor visa, you will have 3 months, either from the date of entry to the UK or from the date you were granted entry clearance, to invest a minimum of £2 million in the UK. To be eligible for an extension, you need to have maintained your level of investment for the remaining period of your visa validity. There are strict rules about how you can invest your funds, so contact us for personalised advice from UK immigration law experts. When do I need to apply for a visa extension? In most cases, we recommend applying to extend your visa no more than 1 month before it is due to expire. Though you are able to apply any time before expiry, submitting an application further in advance can lead to shortfall if you later decide to apply for settlement. You can apply to extend for up to two more years, and will usually receive a decision within eight weeks of applying. You can also apply via the priority service which usually grants a decision within 5 working days.
