High Potential Individual Visa

A considered route to your next chapter in the United Kingdom

A university’s reputation alone is insufficient: it must be on the relevant list for the year the degree was awarded. The route does not directly lead to settlement.

Eligibility

What to review

A degree from an eligible overseas university on the applicable Global Universities List
A qualifying degree awarded within the permitted five-year period
An Ecctis qualification assessment where required
English, financial and immigration requirements

Pathway

Key considerations

Work or look for work without the ordinary employer sponsorship structure.
Permission length depends on the degree category.
A later switch may be needed for longer-term settlement.

Application

How to prepare

Verify the university against the relevant annual list

Confirm award date and degree equivalence

Prepare language, funds and identity evidence
