Can I Migrate to UK Without a Job Offer?
One of the most common questions asked by professionals and entrepreneurs in the UAE is: “Can I migrate to the UK without a job offer?” The good news is that the UK immigration system provides several pathways that do not require a pre-arranged employment contract.
At Citi Venture Group, we specialise in helping UAE-based individuals, families, and business owners explore these visa options and successfully relocate to the UK.
UK Immigration Routes Without a Job Offer
If you do not have a UK job offer, you can still migrate through alternative visa categories designed for entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners:
1. UK Innovator Founder Visa
For entrepreneurs with innovative and scalable business ideas. You’ll need approval from a UK endorsing body instead of a job offer.
2. UK Expansion Worker Visa
Allows UAE-based companies to expand their business into the UK by sending key staff. While linked to your company, it does not require a UK employer’s job contract.
3. UK Immigration with Family
If your spouse or partner is already settled in the UK, you may migrate as their dependant, again without a job offer.
4. Global Mobility Solutions
Designed for multinational firms transferring employees, investors, or directors without the need for a traditional UK employer offer.
