Investment and Application Costs: A Kenyan Perspective

Understanding the financial commitment is vital when considering the UK Innovator Founder visa from Kenya. While the exact figures can fluctuate, prospective applicants should budget for several key costs. These typically include the visa application fee, the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), and potential endorsement fees charged by the endorsing bodies, which can range from KES 150,000 to KES 500,000 or more. Investors should also factor in the required maintenance funds, typically around KES 500,000, and the capital required to establish and grow the business in the UK. Getso Consultants can help you create a realistic financial projection for your application.
