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 unless you’ve already been assessed by Ecctis.
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
- your unique person identifier number or certificate that was given to you by Ecctis when they checked your qualification
Other documents you might need
Depending on your circumstances, you might be asked to provide:
- proof you have enough personal savings to support yourself in the UK, for example bank statements (unless you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months)
- 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 you’re switching to this visa from another visa, you’ll also need to provide either:
- online proof of your immigration status if you have an eVisa - you’ll need to get a share code
- your biometric residence permit (BRP) - you can use it for 24 months after the expiry date printed on your card or until 31 December 2026, whichever comes first
If your documents are not in English or Welsh you’ll also need to provide a certified translation.
