“Multi Travel Visas for made the application of my Schengen Visa extremely simple. My options were clearly explained to me and once the decision was made on the visa to apply for the process took less than a week from start to finish.

New successful case and testimonial for a UK Spouse visa, entry clearance from the USA, for a husband of a dual British/Irish citizen.

“ I just wanted to thank 1st4immigration Ltd for doing such a GREAT job! Before contacting your office concerning my request for settlement, my wife and I were sent from one immigration office to another by Home Office, with each appointment being with the wrong forms and the wrong office. Not only was it frustrating, it was expensive due to transportation costs and Home Office appointment fees. Thank you for understanding exactly what would be needed and how very complicated immigration has become. Your office understood the law and the amount of information that would be needed for a successful application. Outstanding job!!! We are grateful for your expertise and all you've done to assure our settlement together here in the United Kingdom. Absolutely outstanding!!!!"                                                               This came from Daniel and Sandra who are now residing in the West Midlands in the UK.

New testimonial on our German Schengen visa service for a spouse of a UK citizen.

“Dear Sebastian, I just wanted to say how much I appreciated the speed and efficiency with which you handled my visa application. It was a pleasure to deal with you.

Your most common question answered! When I get a UK Spouse visa, do I have to stay in the UK all the time?

We are asked this question almost every day! The purpose of a Spouse/Partner visa is for the foreign partner to reside in the UK with their British/settled spouse/partner. So, are there limits on how many days you (or your British spouse) can spend outside the UK while on this visa? Some think it is 90 days, others – 180 days per year. Both are wrong. The former is the old limit for work visas and the latter is the current limit for the visas under the Points-Based System. Neither applies to spouses and partners. The answer is: there is no specified limit on absences. In other words, there is no minimum number of days, such as “180 per year”. The only rule is that the UK remains your main home and each case has to be assessed on its merit. How does it work in practice? In our immigration practice we have to assess each case individually. For example, a case where a British spouse was sent, by their UK employer, to work in Hong Kong for 6 months, while remaining an employee for a UK co
