🌟 Why Choose the HPI Visa?
This unique visa is designed for individuals with recognized qualifications from eligible universities, awarded within the past five years.

Note: While the HPI visa itself cannot be extended, you may switch to a different visa type, such as the Skilled Worker visa, if you decide to stay longer.
📝 Applying for the HPI Visa
Applications are completed online, with variations based on whether you’re applying from outside or inside the UK. Plus, your partner and children can apply to join you as dependents.
Processing Times:
- Outside UK: 3 weeks
- Inside UK: 8 weeks
💼 What You Can and Cannot Do
With an HPI visa, you can:
- Work in most jobs or start your own business
- Live with your partner and children, if they qualify
- Volunteer and travel freely
However, there are restrictions, such as no access to public funds or work as a professional sportsperson.
🎓 Studying on an HPI Visa
Studying is allowed, but if your course qualifies for a Student visa, you may need to apply or extend one instead. For certain sensitive topics, an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate might be required.
