UK work visas
UK Skilled Worker Visas
To avoid problems or delays from the Visa Office, it is crucial to understand the Skilled Worker visa eligibility and application requirements, whether you are an employer trying to hire a skilled worker from overseas or an individual asking for a sponsorship visa. If your application is denied, you will not receive a refund.
With so much at stake, skilled workers and their sponsors should consult an attorney to ensure they fully grasp their migration options and choose the most appropriate one, the Skilled Worker visa.

Senior or Specialist Worker Visa (Global Business Mobility)
One of five new business immigration pathways available to foreign companies seeking to establish a presence in the UK or transfer employees is the Global Business Mobility (GBM) visa for senior and expert personnel.
According to its name, the GBM senior or specialist worker visa is only available to senior or specialist personnel who want to transfer to a UK branch or subsidiary of their foreign firm.
The previous Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) visa has been replaced by the GBM senior or specialised worker visa under the UK’s points-based immigration system. ICT visa applications will no longer be accepted, although current ICT visa holders won’t be impacted.

UK Start Up Visa
The Start-Up visa gives businesspeople a chance to launch and develop a UK company, either as a single applicant or a Start-Up team member.
The route has several benefits regarding exposure to a bigger pool of applicants. It is targeted at entrepreneurs wishing to launch their first firm in the UK and who can demonstrate high potential and a credible business idea. Unlike its predecessor, the Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa, you do not need a degree to apply, and you are not required to submit investment funds as part of your application.

Sole Representative Visa For Overseas Businesses
There are several different visa alternatives to take into account for international companies sending personnel to the UK. The person’s role, the nature of the activity, the length of time they want to stay in the UK, and the state of the business’s operations there will all influence your decision.
Since foreign corporations cannot sponsor employees in the UK, they use the Sole Representative Visa to deploy a single person to open a branch or subsidiary there. Once operations are up and running, the UK-based organisation should apply for a sponsorship licence to support their hiring and skill requirements.
Start a business in the UK
UK Innovator Visa
The UK Innovator visa was created to appeal to many business owners seeking to establish operations in Britain. However, the path is only accessible to individuals who have obtained the necessary authorization from a designated professional group.
To make sure you adhere to the new guidelines and submit a successful application, professional help will be essential.
With so much on the line, it’s crucial to ensure the innovator path is best for your requirements and that each step of the process is handled skillfully to prevent problems, delays, or even rejection of your application.
Visit the United Kingdom
UK Visitor Visa
Visiting the United Kingdom for business or pleasure may necessitate a visitor visa.
The Standard Visitor Visa allows visitors from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland to stay in the United Kingdom for up to six months.
If you want to visit the United Kingdom, you’ll need to apply for a visitor visa from outside the country and prove that you’re a legitimate tourist. Documentation showing your eligibility for a visitor visa will be required. If you cannot provide evidence that you meet the visa’s conditions, your application will be denied, and your fee will be forfeited.
Study in the UK
UK Student Visa
Non-UK citizens who wish to enrol in a degree programme at a British institution or university must apply for a Student Visa. Under the new immigration system in the United Kingdom, it has superseded the Tier 4 visa.
The new Student Visa route, like the previous Tier 4 visa, is for overseas students aged 16 or over who wish to study full-time or part-time in certain limited situations in the UK and are sponsored by an education provider with a valid student sponsor licence.

United Kingdom visa types
A visa is an authorised document for entry, temporary stay, or permanent residency in the United Kingdom. The British consulate or embassy in your home country will issue a visa in the form of a stamp in your passport or a separate document.
To enter the United Kingdom with a visa indicates that you have shown your identity and meet the criteria for that visa. Applicants for a UK visa do so for a variety of reasons, including:
- To work and to do business
- To study
- For short stays and tourism
- To join family members who are already in the UK
- To transit through the UK to another country
- To live permanently
- As a refugee or as someone who needs humanitarian protection
- As a stateless person
- As someone who needs permission to stay
When to apply for a UK visa
Applying for a UK visa three months before your planned arrival is the earliest you can do so. Be aware that it could take up to three weeks for your visa application to be processed. Apply early to ensure that the consulate processes your visa application on time.
Questions? You’re covered
You will need to provide evidence to support your application for a UK visitor visa, including:
- You will leave the UK at the end of your visit;
- You won't establish a permanent residence in the UK or spend lengthy periods there through frequent or consecutive visits;
- You’re able to support yourself and your dependants throughout your travel (or receive funds from someone else to support you);
- You can pay for your return or onward journey (or have money from someone else to pay for the journey);
- You can do any business or other activities in the UK that are permitted by the visitor rules if you can provide proof of them.
You will be allowed to: As a tourist or leisure visitor to the UK, you may:
- Visit friends and relatives or take a vacation in the UK;
- Participate in exchange programmes for education;
- Enrol in leisurely classes for a maximum of 30 days;
- Spend no more than 30 days volunteering with a recognised nonprofit.
You must prove your legitimacy as a tourist to UK Visas and Immigration to be successful with your application for a visit visa. This means that you must demonstrate that you are genuinely attempting to enter the UK for a reason that is permitted by the visitor routes, that you will not engage in any prohibited activities while you are there, that you won't stay in the UK for an extended time through repeated or frequent visits, and that you won't make the UK your permanent residence.
For the duration of your trip to the UK, you must have access to enough means to support yourself. No specific amount of money is required to demonstrate this.
You should give some thought to the things you want to do in the UK as well as your living costs. This is because a Caseworker will evaluate any source of income that will continue to be available to you while you are visiting the UK, as well as the expected cost of your stay, when evaluating your application. When determining whether you can sustain yourself financially while visiting, a caseworker will weigh your income or savings against any debts you may have in your home country.
A Standard Visitor Visa application costs £95 at the Home Office. An additional fee could be incurred for a biometric appointment at a Visa Center.
After submitting an application and visiting a visa application centre, a decision on a UK visitor visa application is normally made within three weeks. Depending on the nation you apply from, you might be able to request a priority service to hasten the procedure. The Covid-19 epidemic may cause processing delays for your applications and limit the availability of priority services.

I have visited more than 20 agencies at the end I visited Royal Migration and my journey in regards to my UK work permit ended very smoothly with Royal Migration. Royal Migrations are expert in UK work permits and I also got my IELTS training without any addiction charges. I had issues in regard to my legal documents which Royal Migration sorted out with the help of their UK legal consultant. Kudos to Royal Migration.
ROYAL MIGRATION has done a magnificent job with my UK Health and Care Worker Visa. They're very thorough from counseling down to the final stage of my application. It was the best decision of my life to entrust my family's future with Royal Migration, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Frankly speaking, working as a Nurse in the Middle East for so long and wanting to immigrate To the UK is quite dreadful. Thankfully, I found the Royal Migration enlightened me about the process, and not only that as well as what I need to go through in order to obtain the Working Visa. Admittedly, it wasn't easy but with their 2 decades-long experience and expertise our application was a success.
Royal Migration has helped me all throughout the process for the UK START-UP VISA – from preparing the business plan, the endorsement process down to the visa procedure. I have never met a more experienced consultancy other than Royal Migration to handle such a process here in the Middle East, they made it easy for me and my family.
I started the process with Royal Migration Solutions for my UK Visit Visa process since March 2021 and I was worried since the approval took time due to pandemic, but Royal Migration gave me the confidence and were in constant touch with me till the end. Finally, I got my UK visa approved on November 2021. I whole heartedly thank the entire team of Royal Migration for making it possible even during the pandemic time.
I would like to Thank the entire people of Royal Migration’s team who suggested theprogram and encouraged me for positive enrolment with the assistance of documents and also, they supported in my IELTS classes. I am happy with the services and communication ethics. I can say the team is very professional and they support you even if you are not confident enough, they boost up the energy for going further with the process. I am very glad that they did my application and I will advise people who are planning for Overseas studies should contact to the RMS admission team.
As a businessman, I find it difficult to navigate the UK Visa Rules. Thankfully, I came across with Royal Migration they provided all the necessary support and it was such a smooth process. I even referred some of my business partners to do the same as I didn’t face any single challenge with my visa application.
