Is this for you?

You have a raw or early-stage idea but don’t know how to launch it abroad.
Even if you don’t have any idea yet, we’ll help you discover a direction and shape a startup concept that meets the criteria for a residence permit.
You already have a business but are unsure how to adapt it for the UK, France, the U.S., or another country of your choice.
You want to apply for an Innovator Founder UK, Passeport Talent Projet Innovant France, or an O-1 visa in the U.S. through launching your own business.
You’re on another visa and want to switch to a startup visa through a new business.
You’re already on a startup visa — or you already have a startup — and need help growing it further, including preparing for permanent residence or citizenship.
You’re running out of funds and need help with grants, investment, or tax planning.

These are the main programs we work with, but we also support startup founders aiming for other destinations:

FAQ

Can I apply without a developed business idea?

Yes. Many of our clients come to us with no concrete idea. We help you explore promising directions, validate demand, and shape your concept to meet endorsement and visa criteria.

How can I develop an MVP that meets market demand and visa requirements?

We guide you through customer development, hypothesis testing, and MVP design — making sure your product idea is not only viable but also aligned with the innovation and scalability standards expected by endorsing bodies.

How long does the whole process take?

From idea validation to visa approval, the full journey typically takes 4 to 9 months depending on your starting point, the visa route, and country-specific timelines. We tailor our support to your pace and goals.

Can I switch to a startup visa from another visa type?

Yes. We help clients transition from work, student, or tourist visas to startup visas by building a compliant business plan and managing the legal and immigration steps needed for a smooth switch.

What kind of support does Relogate provide after I receive my visa?

We offer full post-visa consulting: from legal and accounting setup, to growth strategy, grant applications, and preparing for investment. Our support continues through the launch and scaling stages.

What if my startup doesn’t succeed?

We help you assess pivot options, refine your model, or explore adjacent markets — because setbacks are a natural part of startup development. If needed, we assist in reapplying for endorsement or transitioning to other visa routes. The time and effort spent on your startup journey is rarely wasted: in most cases, it still counts toward permanent residency or even citizenship.

Can Relogate help me move toward permanent residence or citizenship?

Yes. We help you plan ahead and ensure your business activities align with long-term immigration goals. We partner with trusted lawyers to support permanent residence permits, immigration visa transitions, or citizenship applications when the time comes.
