How long is a Scale-up visa granted for?

A Scale up visa is initially granted for 2 years. After this period you will need to apply to extend your visa if you want to remain in the UK.

When you apply to extend your Scale-up visa this it will be extended for a further 3 year period (if eligible). This can be done as many times as you like as long as you continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
