UK Immigration
Great
Britain is a multicultural country with approximately
a quarter of its 60 million people, born in
countries other than the UK. Their countries
of origin are diverse: they include the UK,
China, Italy, Greece, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam,
Malaysia, South Africa and many others.
Although the fertility rate
is 1.66 children per female, this is well below
the rate required, since UK’s population
is ageing rapidly (median age is 38.4 years
and rising). Much of the UK’s population
growth therefore, is due to immigration and
this is expected to continue to be the case
throughout the 21st century.
The United Kingdom is for many
a place of opportunity. For young travellers
it provides the opportunity to support themselves
while exploring the UK and Europe while on schemes
such as the Working Holidaymaker, for others
the UK provides a quality education that can
in turn lead to career in their home country
or in the UK, on the UK study visas. Many individuals
also look to further their careers and maximize
their earning potential positions offered by
the UK employers in areas of demand, taking
up offers of employment using a UK Work Permit,
or the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. Those
who wish to settle with their new partner in
the UK, through marriage, de facto, fiance visas
and who have a genuine family relationship with
a UK citizen or permanent resident can stay
in the UK on a Family Visa.
We understand the complexities
facing those individuals requiring visa and
permits to live in the UK for their own unique
reasons. On this website we hope to explain
the complexities of the immigration laws and
regulations that affect you. We don't make you
read unfamiliar terms and complex legislation,
we offer a free assessment that allows us to
determine what visas you are eligible for and
the best options for you to live in the United
Kingdom.
Our people make up a
truly multinational team; having lived and worked
in over 30 countries, with proficiency in numerous
languages, many have experienced the immigration
process that you may be going through right
now. If at any stage you would like to talk
to one of the team please contact
us.
