The UK Government provides useful advice on its website to those seeking entry into the UK.

Nevertheless, the law relating to immigration is complex and becoming increasingly so. A specialist lawyer will inevitably be required to guide you through the regulations and your application or appeal.

LegalDirect's network of specialist immigration solicitors typically deal with the following issues:

• European Union Residence Permits (Visa for EU National married to a UK Citizen)
• Representation in an appeal or application process
• Settlement Visas (Visas for non EU Nationals that marry a UK Citizen)
• Student Visas
• Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
• Permanent Residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK)
• Naturalization as a British Citizen
• Work Permits
• Obtaining a British Passport
• Bringing dependent relatives into the UK
• Applications under the ten year and fourteen year rule
• Overstayers that are eligible to legalise their status in the UK
