VISA ROUTES
NEXUS is approved by the Home Office as a Legacy Endorsing Body for the purpose of Innovator Founder Visa and we remain committed to providing ongoing support for all the Founders we have endorsed. Whether you have obtained an Innovator or Start-up visa, our clients have access to a wide range of comprehensive support services. This includes mentoring, coaching, participation in peer networks, regular reviews, and assistance with visa switching. Our goal is to help our members establish and scale successfully in the UK.
If you are an existing NEXUS member and would like to transition to an Innovator Founder Visa (from Start-Up) or if you would like to apply for settlement at the end of your Innovator 3-year period, please email our NEXUS Manager directly and we will take you through the next steps.
As a Legacy Endorsing Body, NEXUS are not accepting new applications from non-members.
Stage 1
You will need to first complete our ENDORSING BODY APPLICATION FORM.
If you do not have a Business Plan, we will consider you for endorsement and encourage all interested to still complete this form.
