Information for people preparing a first application to come to or stay in the UK.

Illustrative interior, not the firm’s office

Service areas shown here are a proposed structure. The firm’s services and details must be confirmed before publication.

Start with what matters to you.

You may already know the route you are considering—or you may need help understanding where to begin.

  • You are applying for permission to enter or stay in the UK for the first time.
  • You are unsure which route fits your purpose.
  • You want an application checked before it is submitted.

Questions that need careful attention.

  • The purpose of your stay and the route you are considering.
  • Your immigration history and any previous refusals.
  • The evidence, timing and fees involved under current rules.

Requirements and available routes can change. Your circumstances and the current rules need individual consideration; this page does not assess your eligibility.

Areas to discuss.

Choosing the route

The right route depends on why you want to come to or remain in the UK. Rules change, so the current position must be checked.

Preparing the evidence

Ask which documents are needed and how they should be shared securely after you have instructed the firm.

These are proposed information topics, not confirmation that the firm accepts this work.

The support you may need.

Discuss whether you need an initial consultation, a review of an application, or support preparing and handling a matter. The firm must confirm its available services and the scope of any work.

Before the conversation

  • Make a short summary of your circumstances and what you want to achieve.
  • Note any relevant dates, decisions or approaching deadlines.
  • Do not send sensitive documents in an initial enquiry. Confirm a secure sharing method first.

Understand the scope and cost.

Consultation price, duration, written advice, professional fees and exclusions are not yet supplied. Government charges, other costs and applicable VAT must be identified separately.
