What Is the Easiest Way to Get Residence in the UK?<\/h1>

There is no single easy route that works for everyone; the easiest route is the one whose condition you already meet.<\/strong> If you have a job offer, Skilled Worker; if you have your own company, UK Expansion Worker; if you have a visible record in your field, Global Talent; if your spouse is a British citizen or settled, the family route. The question to ask is not \u201cwhich one is easy\u201d but \u201cwhose condition do I meet today\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

The routes and what is actually hard about them<\/h2>\n
Route<\/th>The real difficulty<\/th>Easy for whom<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Skilled Worker<\/strong><\/td>Finding a job offer from a licensed employer<\/td>Someone who has a job offer, or who works in an occupation in demand in the UK<\/td><\/tr>
UK Expansion Worker<\/strong><\/td>Having an active company abroad and obtaining a sponsor licence<\/td>A business owner who already has a company and wants to open an operation in the UK<\/td><\/tr>
Global Talent<\/strong><\/td>Getting an endorsement from an approved body<\/td>Someone with a visible record in science, technology, the arts or academia<\/td><\/tr>

So which is the fastest route?<\/h2>\n

Speed can mean two different things, and the answers differ. Getting the residence permit in your hand<\/strong> is fastest on the route whose condition you already meet: a Skilled Worker application if the job offer is ready, UK Expansion Worker if you have a company. On these routes the application time is measured in weeks. Reaching settlement<\/strong> is where the gap between the routes narrows, because on most routes the standard wait is 5 years. So you can speed the application up, but you cannot speed the settlement timetable up much.<\/p>\n

There is one exception: UK Expansion Worker is a time limited route and does not lead to settlement on its own; at the next stage a move to Skilled Worker is discussed. So a route that starts fast is not necessarily ahead on the settlement timetable.<\/p>\n\n

The most common mistake<\/h2>\n

The assumption we hear most is that the process can be shortened with enough money or by buying a home. There is no such route. The Tier 1 (Investor) visa that gave residence in return for investment closed on 17 February 2022, and housing was never counted as a qualifying investment anyway. For the detail see our does buying a home give residence<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

Can residence be bought with money?<\/strong> Not in the UK. The route that gave residence in return for capital is closed. For someone who wants residence through property the nearest option is the Greek Golden Visa.<\/p>\n

My English is weak, which route suits me better?<\/strong> Most routes require a certain level of English. On the family route and on some work routes the level works differently; this has to be assessed against your profile with a qualified adviser.<\/p>\n

Is there an age limit?<\/strong> There is no general upper age limit. The student and Graduate routes naturally suit younger profiles.<\/p>\n

Can I come on a tourist visa first and switch later?<\/strong> Switching from visitor status to work or residence status is as a general rule not possible; the application is expected to be made from outside the UK.<\/p>\n

How do I decide which route suits me?<\/strong> Three things are looked at: a job offer, a company and a family tie. If you have one of the three, the route is largely settled.<\/p>\n\n
