Key Points

• The High-Potential Individual route will enable recent graduates from top global universities to reside in the UK without a job offer, while searching for a job.
• The Scale-up route allows foreign nationals with high-skilled jobs from a designated scale-up business who meet the salary requirements to enter the UK. Scale-up businesses must be able to prove an annual average revenue or employment growth rate over a three-year period that is greater than 20% with no less than 10 employees at the start of the three-year period.
• For the Revitalized Innovator route, applicants must prove their status by showing their business venture is innovative, has potential to grow, and adds value to the UK. The applicants do not need to have GBP 50,000 in investment funds to apply through the innovator route. Applicants who have been accepted through the Global Entrepreneur Program will automatically be qualified for the revitalized innovator route.
