I want to buy/invest on a business such as a coffee shop. Can skilled worker visa holders buy a business or set up a business that he/she will not work at?

Hi, Thank you for your answer. However, I've checked my approval letter many times. On the cannot do list, It only says; get public funds. On the other hand, in can do list, it does not mention about anything related with buying/investing on accommodations/businesses/lands. I've spoken to immigration service and I've been told to contact home office. Regards, Fatih

Hi Fatih KIRCALI

The Home Office is separate from HMRC so you will need to await their advice.

Thank you
