Frequently Asked Questions
What types of visas are available for immigrants wishing to move to the UK?

How do I qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa?
To qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa, you must have a job offer from a UK employer with a sponsor license, meet the required skill level, and earn a minimum salary (usually £26,200 or the going rate for the job, whichever is higher). Additionally, you need to demonstrate English language proficiency and have enough funds to support yourself.
What are the requirements for an Investor Visa?
The Investor Visa requires you to invest at least £2 million in the UK. You must also demonstrate that the funds are from legitimate sources and are available to invest. There are additional requirements for maintaining your investment and staying in the UK.
Can I bring my family with me on a UK visa?
Yes, many UK visas allow you to bring your family members (dependents) with you. The specific requirements and conditions for dependents vary depending on the type of visa you hold. Generally, dependents need to show proof of relationship, financial support, and meet visa requirements.
What is the process for applying for a UK visa?
The process generally involves completing an online application, paying the visa fee, providing biometric information (fingerprints and photo), and attending an appointment at a UK Visa Application Centre (if applicable). You will need to submit supporting documents relevant to your visa type.
How long does it take to process a UK visa application?
Processing times can vary depending on the type of visa and the volume of applications. Generally, it takes around 8 weeks for most visa applications, but some may take longer. It’s important to apply well in advance of your planned travel date.
What documents do I need to provide with my UK visa application?
Required documents typically include proof of identity (passport), proof of financial support, proof of employment or education, and any relevant certificates or sponsorship letters. The exact documents needed depend on the visa type you’re applying for.
Can I switch from one UK visa category to another?
Yes, it is possible to switch visa categories while in the UK, but you must meet the requirements for the new visa category and apply before your current visa expires. Switching categories often involves a new application process and fee.
What are the language requirements for UK visas?
Most UK visas require you to demonstrate English language proficiency. This can be done through passing an approved English language test or having an academic qualification taught in English. Some visas may have specific language requirements.
What happens if my UK visa application is denied?
