Work and Study Visa Routes

 

We can help with all types of UK Visas

There are many different types of Visas, and each Visa requires different information. Take a look below at a brief description of each Work and Study Visa. But if you are not sure what Visa you need, call us on 0115 845 6583. To avoid any confusion, there is no longer a Tier 3 category (since March 2013). 

If you want to come to the UK to Work or Study*, you will need to make the appropriate application. The Home Office fees for applications do change each year (around April) and once you submit an application, they will not offer a refund. To avoid any unwanted costs, we advise that you come and see us first.

*you have to be from outside the EEA (European Economic Area) to apply for a UK Visa
