- intend to leave the United Kingdom after the six month period if you are not able to meet the requirements for an extension of stay through switching into the Entrepreneur route;
- provide an original, signed letter on headed paper supporting the application from one or more FSA registered Venture Capitalists, one or more Government Departments or one or more UKTI endorsed entrepreneurial seed funding competitions, which must include the information specified in this guidance;
