High Potential Individual (HPI) visa
Documents you'll need to apply
Before you apply, you must pay for Ecctis to check your qualification is valid.
When you apply you’ll need to provide:
- a valid passport or other travel document that shows your identity and nationality
- proof of your knowledge of English
You’ll also need to provide the statement Ecctis sends to you when they’ve checked your qualification.
If you had to apply to Ecctis to confirm that your qualification was taught in English, the statement is called an ‘Academic Qualification Level Statement and English Language Proficiency Statement’. Otherwise, it’s called an ‘Academic Qualification Level Statement’.
Other documents you might need
Depending on your circumstances, you might be asked to provide:
- your biometric residence permit (BRP) or online proof of your immigration status, if you’re switching to this visa from another visa
- proof of your relationship with your partner or children if they’re applying with you
- your tuberculosis test results if you’re from a listed country
If your documents are not in English or Welsh you’ll also need to provide a certified translation.
