A High Potential Individual (HPI) visa gives you permission to stay in the UK for at least 2 years. To apply, you must have been awarded a qualification by an eligible university in the last 5 years. There is no job offer requirement for this visa which means applicants have the freedom to look for work whilst living in the UK, can switch jobs without affecting their visa and can also be self-employed.
