UK Visas and British Citizenship

This immigration route, named after a person who filed a course case, can be used by non-EU family members of British citizens to secure a UK visa – but under the EU law. Normally, family members of EEA citizens, such as of Irish/French/Polish nationals, are applying using the European law. This is where they get an EEA Family Permit for 6 months outside the UK and/or a Residence Card for 5 years if applying inside the UK. However, very often British citizens, or rather their non-EU family members, are trying to apply for a visa using the same route. After all, the UK is in the EU and British citizens are the EU citizens, aren’t they? Those who do try it often get a shock of being told that this routes does not apply to family members of UK citizens, only to those of EU (non-UK) citizens. Why? Because there has to be ‘movement’ between the EU member states and ‘British in Britain’ represents no movement!   On the other hand, there is one way around it: Surinder Singh route. It

"I am a UK citizen living in the USA for the past 35 years. Recently I needed to return to the UK  on an emergency trip as my father became very sick. While I was in the UK my passport expired and consequently I needed to have it renewed before I could return to the US. The last thing I wanted to do was spend all my time at the passport office, thanks to Sebastian at Multi Travel Visas I didn't have to. The same day service that was provided to me was exactly as advertised, no surprises and my passport arrived exactly as promised. Thank you Sebastian and Multi Travel Visas Ltd for helping me to spend my valuable time with my Dad and family and not the passport office, great job thanks again!" This came from Malcolm, a British national who is based in the USA. It is possible to renew a British passport within just 2-3 working days!

New successful case and testimonial for an Ancestral Entry Clearance for an Australian national. “Dear Lucy and Russell, Thank you for your very professional and efficient handling of my UK Ancestry Visa application. You fully explained the situation to me and answered all my questions honestly, including those which you doubted would work, but had excellent and acceptable alternatives.  My visa application was submitted with a response timeline of 3-4 weeks and I had it back in less than a week with absolutely no queries and this is due to your excellent vetting of every entry on the application form and the requisite documentation relating to the application. This visa was very important to me and opened a door to the rest of my life. I cannot thank you enough and would recommend you to any person wishing to have a smooth transition with visa acquisition. The best day was when I held my passport in my hands with the visa stamped on a page. Thank you once again.” This came fr
