Please note that this is your Stage 1 application for endorsement, and if successful you will need to apply for your Stage 2 immigration application within 3 months of being endorsed. If you are currently in the UK, please check before continuing whether you can apply to switch your current visa from inside the UK, or whether you must leave the UK and make your application from abroad.
In order for your Stage 1 application to be valid you must submit your Tech Nation application form no more than 15 working days after you submitted your Home Office application. Failure to submit your Tech Nation application form will result in your application being rejected as invalid.

Applicants who submitted their Application for Endorsement form and paid the associated fee on the Gov.uk website prior to this date should not be affected by these changes, however you should review the immigration rules regarding any other changes that may impact you.
