The reform was to better prevent and crack down on financial crimes and to ensure more substantial contributions from foreign investment to the UK economy. The new policy is officially effective as of March 29th, 2019.

Innovator Visa applies to a wide range of applicants. They can work legally in the US, as long as they have endorsement from verified agencies, £50,000 investment fund from a legal source. Three years later, innovator visa holders are eligible for permanent residency.
