Frequently asked questions
Do I need a medical examination with a UK visa or forming the company?
Forming the company does not require a medical examination. Some British visa routes require an examination (such as for tuberculosis) depending on the country of residence and the type of visa — check UKVI. The /visa-medical page is for guidance; confirm the official requirements before booking. Eteform can direct you to partners when needed as part of a broader immigration path with your legal advisor.
Does a UK company grant me residency or a visa?
No, forming a UK Ltd alone does not grant you a visa or the right to reside in the UK — this is one of the most common misconceptions. Companies House registers your company as a legal entity, but that is completely separate from the British immigration system. However, owning a UK company may be part of an immigration path if certain conditions are met: the Innovator Founder Visa route requires an innovative company and an approved endorsing body. The Skilled Worker route requires a job offer from a UK company (which could be your company if you employ yourself under conditions). The Global Talent route is for exceptional people in technology and research. In all these routes, the company alone is not enough — you need a business plan, funding, or a job offer that meets Home Office criteria. Eteform explains this to every client from the start so you do not build false expectations. If your main goal is residency, consult a licensed immigration lawyer before formation.
Does forming the company help with a British visa application?
It may help as evidence of a genuine business activity within an appropriate route, but it does not guarantee approval and does not substitute for the Home Office conditions. Many applicants mistakenly believe that a Certificate of Incorporation = residency. The correct approach: form the company for clear business reasons, then build the visa file with a lawyer if your goal is immigration. Eteform forms the entity in a compliant way (address, ACSP, documents) so it is ready if you need it later — without any immigration promises.
