This visa category closed to new applicants on 11th April 2022, and has been replaced by the Global Business Mobility: UK Expansion Worker visa. Only new applications from Media Representatives will be accepted and those individuals already on a Sole Representative of an Overseas Business will be able to continue to extend their visas or apply for settlement/indefinite leave to remain.

Those looking to assign a representative of their overseas business to the UK in order to set up a UK branch, should now apply for a UK Expansion Worker visa on the Global Business Mobility route.

The Sole representative must be an employee of an overseas newspaper, broadcasting or news agency organisation who are travelling to the UK on a long-term assignment.

The applicant must prove that they have enough money to support themselves without recourse to public funds and must meet the English Language requirement.

A successful applicant on the Sole Representative route will be granted their visa for a duration of 3 years, which can be extended for up to 2 years. If eligible, an applicant can apply for Indefinite Leave to remain/Settlement on completion of 5 years on this visa route.
