Home Office Immigration & Nationality Charges 2018: new fees from 6 April 2018 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/691580/Gov_uk_fees_revision_2018_final.pdf

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 an 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 exampl...

Certainly not as indefinite as most people think. This post is of vital importance to those who have secured an Indefinite Leave to Remain (permanent residency status) in the UK and who are thinking of relocating abroad or taking a job abroad.  You will lose your ILR if you leave the UK for more than 2 years in a row  and will have to start all over again in the future. Indefinite Leave can be lost, and many lose it, as a result of being away for more than 2 years, such as working in Australia, USA or the Middle East etc. What’s the solution? First to apply for British Citizenship, then to go. Please note we say ‘to apply’ and not ‘to get’. In other words, assuming you meet the requirements and can provide the right documents (which we can advise on), your application for Citizenship is based on the time before the date of application, not after. So, you can apply and then take a job offer abroad because your absences will be counted up to the date of application, not the dat...

Sebastian is wonderful! He made sure my documents are all complete and replies quickly. I don’t need to join the long queue in TLS because it is a premium service (like VIP) in a room with a comfortable sofa, free coffee, biscuits and a loo! I went for my biometrics on Friday afternoon, got my France visa on Thursday and received my passport on Friday midday! She applied for a Schengen visa through us 😊 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.mu...

“ This service was recommended to me by TLScontact, and is one of the few agencies that are accredited with the Consulate-General of France in London for earlier appointments. They certainly did not disappoint! They can get you appointments to submit your application for the next day, and really know what documents are required and pretty much everything related to visa applications. My emails were always replied within an hour, and Sebastian was super professional, nice, and friendly. Would definitely recommend! ”  Jiarui applied for a Schengen visa to France 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.

It’s NOT £18600 . It’s close to the cost of Meghan Markle’s couture engagement dress of £56000! We have been planning to clarify the issue of savings for a Spouse visa for some time now - there’s so Michu confusion! We have been also “advising” Meghan and Prince Harry on a UK Spouse visa in this blog. Then we saw her wearing a £56000 designer dress on the official photos:  http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/style/celebrity-fashion/meghan-markle-official-engagement-dress-11732777 . We couldn’t help thinking “That’s almost the amount of savings to meet the Financial Requirement of the Immigration Rules !” Time to clarify the Savings rule. (Perhaps when Meghan bought THAT  dress she didn’t realise it would have “bought” her a Spouse visa - Meghan, you need a good immigration law firm like 1st 4Immigration !) So, there’s a lot of confusion. Do I need £18609 in savings? Or maybe £16000? The correct answer is the whopping amount of £62500! (We did say the cost of that dress was clo...
