Answer a few questions about the route you’re considering. Get an initial guide to the requirements, then speak with an adviser about your full circumstances. This does not replace a professional assessment.
Joining your partner, taking a new job or settling here permanently are different journeys. Our free UK visa eligibility checker helps you identify questions to discuss before you apply. It covers six common routes; it does not assess every visa category or every exception.
Start with your partner’s UK status, your relationship, finances and English evidence. Unmarried partners may need to explain why they have not lived together; living apart does not automatically rule out an application.
Explore spouse & partner visasA job offer alone is not enough. Check the employer’s sponsor licence, occupation code, Certificate of Sponsorship, applicable salary and English requirements for your circumstances.
Explore Skilled Worker visasYour course, licensed student sponsor, CAS, financial evidence and English requirements matter. A Student visa does not automatically allow every applicant to bring dependants.
Explore Student visasConsider the purpose of the trip, how it will be funded and evidence that you will leave after your visit. Your nationality may affect whether you need a visa or another travel permission.
Explore UK visitor visasYour settlement route determines the qualifying period, residence and absence rules. Have your immigration dates and travel history ready rather than assuming one rule applies to everyone.
Explore indefinite leave to remainNaturalisation is a separate step from settlement. Residence, absences, immigration status, English, the Life in the UK Test and good character need to be considered together.
Explore British citizenshipYour current immigration status and expiry date, application location, relevant relationship or sponsorship details, residence and travel dates, and a summary of your financial or course evidence. You do not need to upload private documents to use this checker. Previous immigration decisions, overstaying, criminal history or urgent deadlines need individual professional attention.
No. The checker asks a limited set of questions and cannot review documents, all immigration rules or exceptions. London Immigration Assistance can assess your full circumstances before you proceed. The Home Office makes the decision.
In some circumstances, yes. GOV.UK recognises relationships of at least two years where the couple cannot live together, for example because of work, study or cultural reasons. The relationship and other applicable requirements still need evidence. Read the official partner visa requirements.
Start with what you want to do: visit, study, work, join family or settle. Use GOV.UK’s visa checker and our visa services, or book a free 10-minute next-step call to discuss the options.
No. Dependant eligibility, child applications, long residence and other specialist circumstances have their own requirements. A generic answer cannot establish eligibility for those cases. Ask us to check the exact route, dates and family circumstances.
No. You can start an application directly. A free 10-minute next-step call is available if you would like to clarify your route first. Our fixed professional fee is £500 per application, per person; government and third-party charges are separate. Your written engagement confirms the scope and fee.
