UK Immigration Overview

The United Kingdom offers various visa pathways for work, study, family reunion, and business purposes. Since Brexit, the immigration system has undergone significant changes, introducing a points-based system for skilled workers and new routes for global talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about UK visas and immigration.

How long does it take to process a UK visa?

Standard processing times vary by visa type, typically ranging from 3 to 12 weeks. Priority and super priority services are available for most visa categories at additional cost, reducing processing times to 5 working days or 24 hours respectively.

What is the points-based immigration system?

The UK's points-based system assigns points for specific skills, qualifications, salaries, and professions. Most work visas require a minimum of 70 points, awarded for factors like job offers from approved employers, English language proficiency, and meeting salary thresholds.

Can I bring my family members to the UK?

Most work and study visa holders can bring dependents (spouse/partner and children under 18). You'll need to demonstrate sufficient funds to support them and pay additional application fees and healthcare surcharges for each dependent.

What is the Immigration Health Surcharge?

The Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) is a mandatory fee that gives visa holders access to the UK's National Health Service. The current rate is £470 per year for adults and £470 per year for students and those under 18, payable upfront for the entire visa duration.

What happens if my UK visa application is refused?

If your application is refused, you may have the right to an administrative review or appeal, depending on the visa category. Alternatively, you can address the reasons for refusal and submit a new application. Our consultants provide guidance on the most appropriate course of action.
