Immigration

Immigration deals with how and why people from countries outside the UK are allowed to enter the country and how long they can reside.

It's also about what you are allowed to do when you are in the UK; whether you can work, can relatives join you in the UK, and if you can use the National Health Service or claim benefits.

Our legal advisors will be able to give you practical advice on all these areas. Call us on 08700 434 284 or enter your details into the box below and we'll call you back.

The laws on immigration control are complicated by the fact that they overlap with nationality law - that is, the law about who is or is not a British citizen, and the rights of the different types of British citizen.

The system of immigration control in the UK splits people into two broad categories:

  • Those who have 'right of abode' in the UK and who can live, work and move in and out of the country as they wish, and
  • those who require permission in order to enter and remain here.

For advice on how these categories could affect you or someone closed to you, please call us on 08700 434 284 or read about how we advise our clients.
