” The Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) category closed to new applications on 29 March 2019. However, applications for an extension of leave to remain in this category will still be open until 05 April 2023. If you wish to apply for settlement in this category, applications for settlement will be accepted by UK Visas and Immigration until 05 April 2025.

The new deadlines for Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneurs) are slightly longer, with extension applications being accepted until 05 July 2025, and settlement applications being accepted until 05 July 2027.

These applications can be complex and must be supported with the correct documentary evidence.

Our legal team at OTB Legal have a great track record of getting successful outcomes for applications for extensions to live in the UK on the basis of your business (Tier 1). Why not talk to us about your application? “

How we work – including our transparent pricing

We find that our 3 stage system of working with clients gives everyone the greatest clarity on what can be achieved, how it will happen and how much it will cost.

What’s included in the FREE assessment?


Before we take on a case we always want to establish what the right kind of application is for you and this is what the Assessment Stage is all about.

We find out more about you and what you want to achieve. It is an informal discussion which can be delivered how you want it, whether that is over the phone, using video conferencing or at our easily accessible office – it is entirely your choice.

This stage is completely free and there is no obligation to take on our paid services. At the end of the Assessment Stage you will have a clear plan as to the range of applications available, the costs involved and how likely you are to get a successful outcome.

The best service and experience. 5***** and more!

When it came to working with OTB Legal, I can honestly say they were a breath of fresh air! Neha went above and beyond for us, and kept us updated every step of the way. She made us feel like she really cared about our situation and was invested in it with us to try and help. Which I believe really shows you when somebody loves what they do. She provided fantastic advice and solutions.

Professional, accurate, organised, consistent and approachable

My children and I are now residents in UK. We received our ILR after Emma Cohen helped us with all our applications and did it brilliantly.

I can’t thank Emma and OTB legal enough for their service. Emma is very professional, accurate, organised, consistent and approachable. Everything was done in a timely manner which meant less stress for us. Emma managed every single requirement that we had to provide and the progress for each item to be completed.
