English Language
The Tier 1 investor applicant doesn’t need to show any English language ability. The reason for exemption is that the high network individuals usually don’t have any pressing need to work. Certainly, the Tier 1 investor migrants, can work in the UK, if they wish to do so.
Maintenance Funds
The Tier 1 investor applicants don’t need to show any funds for maintenance for themselves. And for their dependant family members i.e. spouse and children under 18. The reason for the exemption is the access to investment funds, which Tier 1 investor migrants can utilize to support themselves and their dependants without any recourse to public funds.
Can a student with a financial sponsorship apply?
Students with financial sponsorship can apply for a Tier 1 (Investor) visa if they are already in the UK and are a Tier 4 (General) visa holder, student nurse, studying, writing up a thesis or re-sitting an exam, a postgraduate doctor/dentist, an overseas qualified nurse/midwife, a student sabbatical officer. The student needs to have an unconditional agreement in writing from their financial sponsor to either re-enter or stay in the UK if their course fees and living costs are paid by either a government or an international scholarship agency.
