Important notes
UDI says skilled workers normally need a job offer or own business.
For own business, it must normally be applicant's own sole proprietorship; applicant must actively participate; business must require applicant's skilled qualifications; cannot be a limited company; applicant can only work in this business and cannot take other work, including remote work.
Only the approved own business; no other work or remote work.
