UK Visas and British Citizenship

Multi Travel Visas, a prominent UK visa company in the City of London, can assist with renewing a UK passport using fast service at the Passport Office in London, with the authorisation from you as per the government requirements. We can usually submit passport applications within  2 working days. We can also help if for some reason you are unable to apply yourself. If you don't have time to travel to a Passport Office yourself we can apply on your behalf (you don't have to come to London). If you are living/working abroad you can courier documents to our London office and we can submit them promptly for same-day service. This includes if your passport has run out of pages or if you need to renew not only yours but also/or your child's passport urgently.  Example: British expats living or working in the USA, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.   Passport renewal:  we can renew your adult passport on same-day service or 1 week service, with applications submitted as soon as

"I was in a huge panic because I could only get a visa appointment the day before I was supposed to be flying to Geneva. As a South African living in the UK this can often be stressful and expensive. I found Multi Travel Visas and got attended to immediately. They were able to offer me an appointment for the very next day as they have a special relationship with the consulate (even after I tried other services who couldn't do this). Sebastian took my call, reassured me and was always available via email or phone supporting me through the entire application process. He told me what I needed to submit and completed a lot of the admin and forms which made things much easier. I managed to get a five year multiple entry visa from France, due to the suggested additional documents and motivational letter from Multi Travel Visas. I am exceptionally happy with the professionalism, efficiency and short turnaround time. I would highly recommend them!" Kalliste applied for the Fren

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 example will be including a plan

There are 2 meanings of a term ‘Settlement’ when it comes to the UK visas. This is why it can be confusing to understand the Immigration Rules. Meaning #1: Permanent Residency in the UK, known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). The Rules, the visa officers and therefore immigration lawyers often say “Apply for Settlement “ or “Apply to settle in the UK”, you can see here on UKVI website: https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk Even ILR application forms have names like SET(M) or SET(O). Meaning #2: when spouses, partners and fiancées are applying from outside the UK, such applications are also called ‘Settlement’. It does not mean these are applications for Permanent Residency but means that the applicant (a foreign partner) is planning to come to the UK with the view of settling here, ie ‘for settlement’.  There is no such term when switching from a Spouse/Partner visa inside the UK, for example, from a Tier 4 to a Spouse visa. Yes, this 2nd meaning of a ‘Settlement’ term is used

Great experien ce, really quick when necessary, worth every penny. This came from Sergey who applied for Schengen visa through the French Consulate. 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.

"Using this service was a great experience. Sebastian was very helpful along the way and gave me very clear instructions as to what documents were required and what format they needed to be in. My Schengen visa was processed in 4 business days by the French embassy, and I was really pleased to have received a 2yr multiple entry Schengen Visa (on previous attempts I only ever got 3 month or 6 month Schengen visas). Great service, would definitely recommend."   This came from Ardeshir who applied for Schengen visa through the French Consulate.

This has been one of the most commonly asked question during our 10 years of practice, so this is an updated post. If you saw our old post from 2013, saying “6 months in each year” rule, it is now out of date and the current guidance is very different. So, the updated rule on the date of this post (February 2018) is that 6 months stay starts from the date of each entry in the UK, ie from the airport stamp. You can come and go, and every time you come back “your” 6 months start again. If you aren’t required to have a visa stamp before travelling, you would get a stamp on arrival at the airport. If you are a visa national (ie need to have a visa stamp before coming to the UK), your visitor visa has to be long enough, such as for 2, 5 or even 10 years. If your visa stamp is only for 6 months and you entered, say, 1 month after it was issued, you’d have only 5 months left to stay in the UK and you can actually extend your visa to give you that extra 1 month (will be expensive bu

For some reason, it is Category B that seems to be causing most of the problems we see applicants make. If you changed your job and can’t apply under Category A because you haven’t worked for your new (ie current) employer for 6 months yet, you’d have to use Category B. The 1st part would be your current salary being £18600 per year. The 2nd part is total earnings for the last 12 months in both current and previous jobs.  Or several previous jobs, as you can combine any number of jobs in the 12 months prior to the visa application. The question is: do you actually have to have worked for the whole 12 months before applying? Or to wait for the whole 12 months if you didn’t work that long? The answer is No - if you can meet the total £18600 in earnings in a shorter period than 12 months. Of course, you need a salary much higher than £18600! For example, if you only worked for 5 months for Employer 1 and then for 1 month for the current Employer 2 but your salary has been, say,
