UK visas

Securing a UK visa can be a complicated process. Even where you are confident you meet the requirements, it is still important to make sure all of the paperwork is completed accurately with all of the necessary supporting evidence. Any errors or missing information could see your application rejected and require a fresh application, costing you more and delaying your visa.

Whether you need help applying for a visa, renewing a visa or dealing with a visa rejection or refusal, our friendly, expert team will be on hand to support and guide you every step of the way.

Our personal immigration lawyers can assist with all types of UK visas, including:

  • UK Visitor visas
  • UK Student visas
  • Child Student visas
  • UK Partner visas
  • UK Civil Partnership visas
  • UK Family visas
  • UK Spousal visas
  • UK Child Dependent visas
  • UK Sports visas
  • UK Ancestry visas

We can also advise on the full range of UK work visas for people planning to work in the UK.

EU immigration law & Brexit immigration solutions

Since the UK left the EU and the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020, citizens of EU and EEA countries need to follow the same immigration process as citizens of any other country. If you are planning to come to the UK or extend your stay here, it is important to fully understand these rules and how they apply to your situation.

Our team have advised huge numbers of EU and EEA citizens dealing with UK immigration rules for the first time. We can provide clear, empathetic support to help you secure your right to visit, study in or live in the UK.

We can assist with issues such as:

  • UK visa requirements
  • UK visa renewals
  • Changing your UK visa
  • Late applications under the EU Settlement Scheme
  • Applying for British citizenship

British Citizenship/Nationality and Indefinite Leave to Remain

If you have lived in the UK for long enough, you may have the right to apply for ‘indefinite leave to remain’. This allows you to settle permanently in the UK and is the first step towards acquiring British citizenship (if this is something you wish for).

There are strict requirements for securing indefinite leave to remain and British citizenship, so you need to make sure you are eligible and that you can provide all of the necessary evidence to prove this.

The application processes for indefinite leave to remain and British citizenship are long and expensive, so it is important to get expert advice to make sure you do not make any mistakes that could hold up your application or see it rejected.

Our personal immigration lawyers can advise on:

  • Indefinite leave to remain
  • Settled status (i.e. ‘indefinite leave to remain under the EU Settlement Scheme’)
  • Indefinite leave to enter the UK (when moving from abroad)
  • British citizenship applications

International home working

Working from home has boomed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with international home working becoming much more common as well. While this can offer many advantages for employees and their employers, it is important to understand the immigration and employment law implications of being an international home worker.

If you are an international home worker, you must have the right to work in the country where you are based, not the one where your employer is based. Whether you are working in the UK or abroad, your employment rights will normally also depend on the country you are working in rather than the country of your employer.

So, if you are based in the UK but working for an employer in another country, you must have the right to work in the UK and will likely have rights under UK employment law.

Our team can assist with:

  • Understanding your international home working rights and restrictions
  • Applying for a UK work visa (where required)

Complete legal service for all of your needs

Our clients benefit from IBB’s multi-service approach. Our legal expertise extends to a variety of areas that can affect your life, including:
