Investors
Application form
This page explains how you should complete the application form for the investor category (Tier 1 Investor) under the points-based system to come to the United Kingdom.
- How to fill in the form for an initial application if you are applying from inside the United Kingdom
- How to fill in the form for an initial application if you are applying from outside the United Kingdom
- How to fill in the form for an extension application if you are already in the United Kingdom
Before you complete the application form you should read the section on eligibility to make sure you meet the requirements for the investor category.
You should also read the Who should apply? section to find out whether you should fill in the application form.
You will need to pay the correct fee when you make your application. This fee will not be refunded if your application is refused. Read the section on costs to find out what application fee you must pay.
You should not use the application form if you are a dependant, for example the partner or child under 18 of a main applicant. You should complete the separate dependant application form.
You must fill in the form in block capitals using a black pen. Please enter all dates as dd-mm-yyyy, for example 29-04-2000.
