FAQs

Questions applicants ask

A set of sponsored routes supporting qualifying international business activity.

Processing depends on route, service level, application location and case circumstances. Current GOV.UK guidance should be checked before applying.

The exact list depends on the applicant and route. Common evidence can include identity documents, qualifications, language evidence, employment or financial records, relationship evidence and police/medical documents where required.

Some routes allow dependent family members; others have restrictions. The answer must be checked against the current rules for the specific route and applicant.

Government fees and levies can change. Blue Wave should confirm the current official fee schedule immediately before submission rather than relying on an old figure.

No. A consultant can help with preparation and compliance, but the relevant government authority makes the decision.
