SSW & the
Tech Nation
Visa Scheme

4 May 2016

UK immigration practice Smith Stone Walters is proud to announce its partnership with Tech City UK in association with the new Tech Nation Visa Scheme.

In the midst of stringent UK immigration reform, the scheme is dedicated to attracting the globe’s best and brightest tech minds to the UK.

Introduced in November 2015, the scheme enables applicants of the Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa category to receive endorsement from Tech City UK, a Home Office appointed Designated Competent Body, before their visa application is passed over to the Home Office for consideration.

Whilst Tech City UK are entitled to endorse up to 200 candidates each year for this visa route, there is no guarantee that the visa application will be successful once endorsement has been given.

As a legal partner for the Tech Nation Visa Scheme, Smith Stone Walters can help you to increase the chances of your UK visa application being successful, whilst making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Contact our UK immigration specialists for more information on how to apply for you Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa.
