New testimonial on same-day UK passport renewal from a client residing in Saudi Arabia

"I would like to thank all the Multi Travel Visas team for the support and help. You were responding to my enquiries promptly. In the future, for any other service,  for myself, my family or friends, I will definitely recommend your good Office. Many thanks Chloe and Russell and Merry Christmas in advance!!!!!!!!". This came from Cherif, a British citizen residing in Saudi Arabia. The client was able to renew his British passport promptly by couriering his documents to us from Saudi Arabia just before Christmas, we submitted to the Passport Office in London, without waiting for an appointment, and when the new passport was ready, we couriered it back to the customer.

In-country switching to a ‘Tier’ Dependant visa is indeed allowed now, it’s true!

One of our most popular postings in the last couple of months, both here and on Facebook, was about the change in the Immigration Rules regarding switching to a Dependant visa inside the UK when the   main applicant holds or applying for a main visa under the Points-Based System (PBS). For example, when one of the partners holds a Tier 2 visa and the other holds a Post-Study Work Visa. In the past the 2 nd partner would have to apply from abroad for a Tier 2 Dependant visa, however, now it is possible to switch from a PSW visa (in this example) to a Tier 2 Dependant visa inside the UK. And it gets better – it can be done on same-day service at the UKBA. We usually work with their Croydon facility. Same rules apply to those switching to a Tier 1 Dependant visa. However, Dependants of Tier 4 (Student) migrants have a bit more restrictions, although those restrictions affect generally all Tier 4 Dependants, whether applying inside or outside the UK, such as that the course of t

New testimonial on Schengen visa

"Over the past three years I have used several registered visa companies. Apparently  many seem to employ staff that are either incompetent or uninterested. One company in particular have a legal department that gave me such bad advice that my wife was almost deported. Fortunately I discovered ' multitravelvisas.co.uk' who have proven to be not only competent but act in a professional manner providing an excellent service from start to finish. Previous experience with other companies taught me to question events every step of the way; but ' multitravelvisas.co.uk' replied to my many questions promptly  (often by a return email within the hour) and gave me the confidence to trust them completely. I would not hesitate in recommending them."   This came from John, who we helped to secure a Schengen visa for his wife who is an Ethiopian national.   To make a Schengen or another travel visa application through us please contact us: info @multitravelvi

We extensively cover the restrictions applied to Eastern European A8 n

Another successful case and testimonial on British Citizenship application for a Bulgarian citizen, married to a British citizen

"A massive thank you to Natalia, Lucy and Russell for the great support on my way to British Citizenship. Always very responsive, I didn't have a single question unanswered. My requests were dealt with precision and professionalism, and very often outside normal working hours. Time was crucial for me and the team managed to organize everything within the time limits. So, thank you team 1st 4 Immigration! It was a pleasure working with you!" Elena, Bulgarian national . Elena happened to study and work in the UK for about 6 years. She secured a Yellow Card as a student which meant she qualified under the Transitional Arrangements and did not need medical insurance. Elena then secured a Blue Card and has been working as an employee and self-employed. Elena was also married to a UK citizen which meant we had to only examine 5 years of exercising Treaty rights in the UK (and not 6 years).
