Am I eligible for a High Potential Individual Visa?
The ability to secure a HPI Visa will depend on whether you studied at one of the top-ranking eligible universities. In addition, your qualification, which must have been awarded in the last five years, needs to be at the same level as a:
- UK bachelor’s degree
- UK postgraduate degree
- UK PhD or doctorate
To qualify, you must also show:
- You have a good knowledge of English.
- Prove that you can support yourself financially.
- A statement from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) certifying that your qualification is at the right level.
Can I bring my family members to the UK on an HPI Visa?
You can bring your dependent family members to the UK. A dependent is defined as:
- Your spouse, civil partner, or unmarried partner (in the case of the latter, you must have been living together in a relationship for at least two years).
- Your child under 18 - including if they were born in the UK during your stay.
- Your child over 18 if they’re currently in the UK as your dependant.
You will need to provide proof of your relationship and show that you can support your dependents financially whilst you are in the UK. In addition, you will have to pay the healthcare surcharge for each person coming to the UK.
How long can I stay in the UK on an HPI visa?
You can live and work in the UK for two years. Those with a PhD or other doctoral qualifications can stay for three years. Although the HPI Visa cannot be renewed upon expiry, you may be able to switch to another type of visa, such as the Skilled Worker Visa.
