For Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa from December 13th 2012, the English language requirement is being lowered from level C1 (advanced) to level B1 (intermediate), in line with other Points-Based System categories, in response to concerns that the high requirement was a possible deterrent to potentially successful entrepreneurs. This change is also being made to the Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) category for consistency (although it has no practical consequence in this category, as applicants pass the English language requirement automatically if they meet the separate requirement to have passed a UK degree).
