Latest Immigration Q&As

Q&As
Is a Tier 2 (General) migrant (who is not a ‘high earner’) able to hold more than 10% of shares in a company in the same group of the company which sponsors them? Eg a majority stake in a second group company, where that second company would have the option to purchase IP created by the migrant for their role in the sponsoring company? Are there any restrictions on a Tier 2 migrant being a director and shareholder of one group company but an employee of another?

Or do they have to wait 12 months from the date the settled status is recognised/granted under the EUSS before applying?
