The increasing demand for immigration advice reflects the evolving and complex nature of the UK immigration landscape and the growing number of businesses and individuals who have to traverse it. Since Brexit, for instance, the number of employers holding sponsorship licences, which enable them to sponsor staff from overseas, has risen from 30,000 to over 127,000.
Nor is it just large corporates that are seeking these licences; we see employers from mid-size downwards needing them, especially in the social care, hospitality, construction and tech sectors.
Meanwhile, individuals must navigate a complex terrain of different visa routes, from Skilled Worker and Global Talent visas to UK Ancestry visas.
End-to-end support
Responding to the growing call for guidance on immigration issues, Lindsays has launched a new service advising businesses, individuals and families on immigration and the various visa routes available.
For businesses, that means supporting them end-to end to hire and retain overseas staff, from applying for sponsoring licences, to managing immigration compliance and audits as well as providing right to work training sessions
For individuals, it means supporting them on the various pathways available, whether they are looking to visit, work or study in the UK, reunite with a partner or family, extend their stay, settle, or claim British citizenship. We can help them identify the most appropriate type of visa, understand the eligibility requirements, navigate the application process, or find the best strategy for handling Home Office decisions.
If you are unsure as to what immigration visa route is best suited to your circumstances or how best to achieve your business goals, we offer an initial fixed-free consultation for both businesses and individuals.
