POPULAR VISA SERVICES
TIER 1 ENTREPRENEUR VISAS
The Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa has now been replaced and no new applications can be made (other than by those switching from the Graduate Entrepreneur programme). Existing entrepreneurs will remain on this route and can still apply to extend their visas, bring their families to the United Kingdom, or apply for indefinite leave to remain. If you are already an entrepreneur, and you need our expert help with these applications, or any other aspect of your visa status, then please contact us for an initial consultation.
SPOUSE VISA
If you are a British Citizen, or if you are a settled person (indefinite leave to remain) and you are married to, or in a long-term relationship with a foreign national then you can bring your husband, wife, or partner to live with you in this country if you meet the rules. These rules are however complicated and challenging and it is essential that professional advice is obtained if you want to succeed. At Cromwell Wilkes we understand that these visas are very important to the people involved. It is therefore an area of law in which we have particularly developed our experience and expertise.
