A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
The application, qualifying conditions and outcome for Isle of Man. Choose a service to see its specific answers.
Business residence: Build and operate the endorsed business under a qualifying Business Migrant permission. Indefinite leave to remain: Innovator settlement can be available after three qualifying years if endorsement, business outcomes and the other settlement requirements are met. British citizenship: Ordinarily five years of qualifying residence in the UK and Islands, including twelve months free from immigration time restrictions, with the applicable absence, language, life-knowledge and character requirements. Isle of Man residence leads, where eligible, to British citizenship. Innovator settlement after three years is not a promise of citizenship in year four.
Obtain Department for Enterprise endorsement of the Innovator business and evidence the required funding. Apply for entry permission with English and maintenance documents. Establish and actively run the endorsed business, fulfil its monitoring requirements and seek settlement only when the separate settlement criteria are met.
Age 18 or over, the required English ability and maintenance resources. A new-business applicant normally needs at least £50,000 investment funding.
Department for Enterprise endorsement, credible business plan, evidence of available lawful investment and personal funds, passport and English evidence. Maintain active involvement and fulfil the endorsement and settlement milestones.
Residence to operate the endorsed business, eligible dependants and potential settlement after three years if the separate tests are met.
