The UK: Still One of the World’s Most Open Gateways for Tech Founders and Innovators
While many countries are tightening immigration policies, the UK continues to position itself as a global hub for digital innovation, blockchain, and tech entrepreneurship — offering real, long-term immigration routes for talented professionals and founders.

The UK: Still One of the World’s Most Open Gateways for Tech Founders and Innovators
In an increasingly competitive global market, the ability to hire international professionals has become a key advantage for UK companies.
However, since the post-Brexit immigration changes, employing skilled workers from abroad is only possible if your company holds a Home Office Sponsorship Licence.
At CG Consulting, we help UK businesses navigate this process — from licence application to visa approvals for your employees — quickly, correctly, and with full compliance.
💡 1️⃣ Global Talent Visa (Digital Technology)
For experienced tech professionals, blockchain developers, and founders who’ve made a recognised contribution to the digital space.
✅ No job offer or sponsorship needed
✅ Full freedom to work, invest, or build your own project
✅ Route to permanent residency (ILR) in 3–5 years
  • If you’ve led projects in AI, blockchain, crypto infrastructure, or Web3 — you might already qualify.
🚀 2️⃣ Innovator Founder Visa
For entrepreneurs launching innovative, scalable businesses in the UK.
✅ Requires endorsement from an approved UK innovation body
✅ No minimum investment amount (unlike the old Innovator route)
✅ Can bring dependants and move toward ILR after 3 years
  • Perfect for crypto startups building new DeFi, payments, or data-security solutions with a real-world use case.
🌍 3️⃣ Start-up Visa (being phased out)
This route has now largely transitioned into the Innovator Founder Visa, but early-stage founders can still enter through accelerator or university endorsement.
If your blockchain or fintech product is still pre-revenue — this can be a bridge to a more advanced visa route.
🧭 Why the UK matters for Web3 and digital innovation
  • Strong regulatory framework for fintech and blockchain projects
  • Access to capital and partnerships with global investors
  • Legal routes to long-term residence and citizenship (unlike Dubai or Singapore, which remain temporary ecosystems).
