Our services

Our immigration lawyers in London assist individuals who are interested in moving to the UK or relocating here. The process is largely based on the motive for the prolonged stay and this is the first essential issues that need to be answered before applying for the right type of visa or residence permit.

We provide guidance across the entire immigration process and we assist our clients who need to apply for the relevant permit online with UK Visas and Immigration, attending a visa application centre in their country. This means that we are here to answer your questions even before you travel to the UK.

Some of our services cover the following areas:

1. Working in the UK: the Skilled Worker visa (which replaced Tier 2 in December 2020) is required for those who have been offered a skilled job (including EU/EEA citizens without EU Settlement Scheme status); living in the UK under this visa is subject to being employed by a licensed sponsor;
2. Investing in the UK: the Innovator Founder visa (which replaced the closed Tier 1 Entrepreneur route) is for entrepreneurs with an endorsed business idea; the Tier 1 Investor visa closed in February 2022; our immigration lawyers in London can give you complete details;
3. Studying: this is the Student visa (which replaced Tier 4 in October 2020) for individuals over the age of 16 who are not British or Irish citizens (EU/EEA citizens also need it unless they have EU Settlement Scheme status) and who meet other eligibility criteria; this visa can be applied for up to 6 months before the start of the course at the earliest;
4. Family reunification: individuals may be eligible to apply for a family permit to come to the UK or a settlement permit if the applicant’s partner has died and he/she was a British citizen.

Our team of immigration solicitors in London can help interested investors and entrepreneurs with solutions for corporate immigration. This includes but is not limited to assistance and support for transferring employees, information on the law for corporate relocations, obtaining special permits and licenses and obtaining the right types of visas.

UK immigration in light of the Brexit

The immigration, visa and residence permit rules are different according to the nationality of the applicant. This rule has become increasingly important in the context of Britain leaving the EU. The Withdrawal Agreement set out the terms for UK’s retraction from the European Union and establishes the terms for citizens’ rights. The transition period ended on 31 December 2020 and since 1 January 2021 free movement has ended and EU/EEA citizens arriving after that date need a visa (those resident before could apply under the EU Settlement Scheme). The implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement is overseen by the UK–EU Joint Committee.

Our team of immigration lawyers in London is ready to assist you if you wish to seek employment, study, or apply for family reunification in the UK starting with 2021. You can reach out to us for personalized assistance according to your nationality and the purpose of your long-term stay in England.
