• F60: independent professionals; F66: contractual service suppliers; F67: technologists. F61/F62/F63: ICT; F64: ICT spouse; F65: investors.
• Meet specific requirements regarding occupation, qualifications, contracts, trade/investment, or corporate affiliation.

Required documents

Passport, job offer, contract, CV, qualifications/licenses, and evidence of business as per the applicable category.

Important notes

Simply living in or holding a visa for the UK does not automatically qualify you. Work permits and Permanent Residence (PR) are assessed based on individual criteria.
