Common Questions About the National Innovation Visa
Do I need to be a founder to qualify?
Not necessarily. Researchers, senior operators and recognised leaders can also qualify if the evidence shows exceptional impact.
My achievements are spread across roles - is that a problem?
No. We curate a single, cohesive narrative supported by independent validation.
How long does preparation take?
It depends on evidence readiness. We start with strategy, then focused evidence build and submissions.
Can my family be included?
Often yes, depending on your circumstances. We’ll advise on the best approach.
