There are a number of reasons for a person to go to Britain. Whatever the reason, the person will have to apply for a visa in order to gain entry and will have to follow the immigration laws during the stay.

There are a few businesses that supply services to employers and individuals to make the transition easier. A few common reasons for persons traveling to Britain are listed below: studies, holidays, business or work.

Visa: This is a document issued by the British government permitting you to enter their country with the understanding that you will follow all their national laws at all times. This can be obtained with the correct documentation by applying to the local British Embassy.

Holidays: A person will need to show that they have enough finance to stay in the UK without any burden to the government and will leave the country when the visa expires.

Study: A student should show that they have been accepted for a course study by a recognized college/institution, has financial backing during the stay, and will leave the country on completion of the course.

Spouse/Fiancé(e): Despite the nature of one's relationship with a British national, no one has automatic entry into the UK. Anyone interested in entering the UK must first apply for a visa, even if they are married or engaged. A spouse visa and a partner visa must receive full clearance before the individual can enter the UK. There are various rules associated with the spouse visa and the partner visa and all of the limitations must be met before any individual is allowed entry into the UK.

Work: Since there are a few categories, each with its own rules and regulations, a person will have to apply for a work permit depending on the category.

Business: This allows people to visit the UK for the purpose of meetings, briefings, undertaking negotiations, or making contracts.  Here at Midlands Immigration Services we offer services specializing in Nationality Law, please fill in the enquiry form below or contact us on the telephone number provided.
