Golden Visa UK - The StratExec Alternative

The UK's classic "golden visa" was closed by the Home Office. However, there is a compliant path that still delivers residence and a route to settlement.

The British government ended the investor route to curb illicit finance and push for real economic substance. A cheque for a visa is no longer an option. However, you can choose a business-anchored pathway that fits today's rules. Our Self-Sponsorship Executive approach pairs ownership or leadership of a real UK company with the Skilled Worker route. It provides residence for you and your family, with a clear line to settlement.

Regulated legal work is delivered by A Y & J Solicitors under a separate engagement.
