Individuals seeking to visit or relocate to the UK can receive guidance from our immigration experts. Our professionals offer a diverse range of services, including permanent visa applications, residence permits, citizenship, various employment or family-based visas, and corporate immigration solutions. To apply for visas to the UK, it is advisable to follow the recommended procedures, either through the respective immigration agencies or consulates/embassies abroad.
To obtain a work permit in the UK, individuals from non-European countries, including Canada, the USA, Australia, and others, must apply. Work permits cover various categories like domestic workers, representatives of foreign companies, investors, and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs seeking to open businesses need a Tier 1 visa, while temporary workers in areas like sports, religious activities, or charities should opt for a Tier 5 visa. Requirements include providing details about the job offer, degree qualifications, and relevant experience. Domestic workers in roles such as chauffeurs, medical assistants, cooks, or cleaners need to demonstrate at least one year of experience. It’s essential to note that family members of foreign workers need a separate family visa, as the work permit doesn’t include them.
