Business plan writing service for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa - from a firm of experienced Immigration Entrepreneurs!

A  Business plan is a compulsory requirement for initial Entrepreneur visa applications.   Over the past several years we’ve been dealing with the Entrepreneur visa applications for our clients. As a part of each application, we have to read client’s business plan, ask to make changes and generally, to include the information relevant to the Entrepreneur visa rules as well as based on the questions a client may be asked at a interview (from our experience of clients’ visa interviews). Our experience allowed us to develop an approach to creating the business plans from a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa point of view. Instead of using standard templates, we focus on what the visa officers want to see, i.e. on what a migrant will be required to do while holding this visa: investment of £50,000 or £200,000 and what your client is going to spend it on. For example, paying yourself a salary is not counted, yet it is very common for clients to do this.    Another example will be including a plan of

A new Google review about permanent residence card application for a Romanian national

“Excellent service and support offered by Natalia and Sebastian throughout my entire application for Permanent Residency. I have no words to describe how grateful I am for their help, their professional manner, and the way they handled not a very easy and straight forward case! Thank you for your patience guys! 10 out of 10 and definitely I will highly recommend 1st 4Immigration for stress free applications!” Sergiu, Romanian national In this case we avoided the rule of medical insurance for an EEA student because of the applicable TRANSITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Top reasons permanent residence applications are rejected or refused

This time we borrowed this headline from the UK Visas and Immigration: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-for-a-document-certifying-permanent-residence-or-permanent-residence-card-form-eea-pr/top-reasons-pr-applications-are-rejected-by-ukvi We thought it would make a good post for European / EEA citizens and their family members.The page offers a list of reasons, although they are quite generic, such as no signature on the form or no correct fee paid. So, we thought we would expand on the subject and add most common non-admin reasons, ie most common eligibility-related reasons. In descending order: #5 Students being unaware of the health insurance requirement, which was – unfairly and unusually – applied retrospectively. This rule was added in June 2011, yet it refers to those studying even before that. #4 Believing (wrongly) that this application is based on the last 5 years , ie 5 years immediately prior to the date of application. It would have been

A new five star Google review about our Schengen visa services

“Super helpful - I usually don't use agent for visa, but Multi Travel Visas really has some value added!! They are swift, professional and can answer any questions I have. Thank you!” Lori, Chinese national It is possible to obtain a French Schengen visa within 3-4 working days from the date of appointment for most nationals, such as South African, Thai, Filipino, Russian, Indian, Chinese and most others. We can also assist with the German and Portuguese Schengen visas. The good thing about applying through French Embassy is that they tend to issuer longer, multiple-entry, visas. Although you have to go through a very stringent process of application, you may have a visa lasting for several years.  Contact us at Multi Travel Visas: French Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-france.php German Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-germany.php Portuguese Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/sche

Business plan writing service for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa - from a firm of experienced Immigration Entrepreneurs!

A business plan was made compulsory for initial applications from 6 April 2015.   Over the past several years we’ve been dealing with the Entrepreneur visa applications for our clients.

Latest on Brexit: The Guardian article on a leaked document on "tough rules" for EU citizens after Brexit. Our advice remains - apply to confirm your status now !

In this article   https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/05/leaked-document-reveals-uk-brexit-plan-to-deter-eu-immigrants   The Guardian claimed to have a (leaked) government document, proposing the end of free movement immediately after Brexit and tough new visa rules for European migrants.  The Daily Mail also run an article based on the above: : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4855264/Tough-new-immigration-rules-revealed-massive-leak.html Whether this leaked proposal was genuine or not , whether it will be adopted in this form or changed, here are some examples.  For example , European citizens wishing to bring their family members  (husbands , wives and children ) , will have to meet the same Financial Requirement (£18,600) as UK citizens currently have. This income requirement has been controversial ever since its introduction in 2012 and has been subject to a few court cases. However , at least it would make the Rules the same for all. Currently , the

News roundup:- summer and autumn 2017.

A very important update on the Immigration Rules for spouses and partners of British citizens following the MM (Lebanon) case:  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statement-of-changes-to-the-immigration-rules-hc290-20-july-2017   In a nutshell, the outcome is:  if you meet the Financial Requirement - you get 5-year route.  If not, but have exceptional circumstances  (exceptional in the policymakers'  opinion), you could be given a chance provide some other convincing ways to support yourselves - and you would be put in the 10-year route. Good news for those who would have struggled before but a twice longer wait for permanent residency (meaning double fees for the UK government with double health surcharge). Still, better than nothing.  Here we have a post that explains the difference between a 5-year and 10-year routes:  http://1st4immigration-visas.blogspot.pt/2017/08/one-of-our-most-popular-posts-and-most.html   We would still advise to aim for the 5-year r
