Related questions

Do I need to invest a fixed amount?

No. The old £50,000 requirement was removed in 2023. The endorsing body judges whether your funding is enough for the plan.

Who are the endorsing bodies?

A small list on gov.uk, each charging its own fee and running its own assessment. The Lifeset Overseas guide lists them with current fees.

Can my family come?

Yes. Partner and children can apply as dependants, each paying the fee and the surcharge.
