Immigration Law FAQs

What is immigration law?
Immigration law refers to the set of regulations and policies that govern the entry, stay, and legal status of foreign nationals in the UK. This includes the requirements for obtaining visas to visit, work, and live in the country, as well as issues such as asylum, deportation, family reunification, and the protection of human rights.
What is a visa?
A visa is an official document that allows a foreign national to enter, stay, or transit through the UK, typically for a specific purpose and duration. Visas are categorised based on their purpose, such as tourism, work, study, or family purposes.
Can I work in the UK?
Some types of visas do allow you to work in the UK, either on a permanent or temporary basis. However, not every visa permits work, and visas that do permit you to work typically have restrictions on the type of work or employers. So, whether or not you can work in the UK depends on the type of visa you hold. It is vital that you understand your visa and the conditions attached to it before you undertake any work in the UK.
What are the benefits of using an immigration solicitor for my application?
A Setfords immigration lawyer can walk you through the often-complicated immigration process. They’ll be able to provide you with tailored advice for your specific situation and ensure that your application has everything it needs for the best chance of success.
How much do immigration lawyers cost?
The exact costs will depend on your individual circumstances. It is crucial that we can give you as much guidance and certainty as to the likely costs involved in your matter. In order to do so, we ask you to provide us with as much information as possible at the beginning of the matter. We are always transparent with our pricing, which you can find out more about by clicking here.
