Work in the UK: Obtain a UK Work Visa

Are you relocating to the UK, or have you been offered a job in the UK? Non-UK nationals, including those from the EEA and Switzerland, face a number of immigration challenges.

Long-term Work Visa

If you’re a skilled worker coming to the UK for a long-term job, we can help you with your visa application.

Here are the options you have for long-term Work visas:

  • Skilled Worker Visa
  • Health and Care Worker Visa
  • Intra-company Visa
  • Minister of Religion Visa (T2)
  • Sportsperson Visa (T2)

To be eligible for most Long-term Work Visas you will need to have an eligible job with an approved employer.

Bringing your dependants with you

Your partner or children (dependants) may be able to move to the UK with you. We will be able to assess your case and let you know if this is possible based on your circumstances.

Extending or switching your visa

We can advise you on how you can extend or switch your work visa and whether you qualify for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

What our clients say

I had a great experience with GENTILI STARK Solicitors for handling my wife’s Spouse Visa Application. They have demonstrated a deep understanding of immigration law, especially for family visas. They were incredibly responsive to my concerns and explained everything clearly throughout the process. Thanks to Stephane Gentili’s professionalism and expertise for his exceptional legal representation and his meticulous attention to details, I cannot recommend Gentili Stark Solicitors highly enough for their expertise, clear communications, genuine care and unwavering support throughout the process, made a stressful and emotional situation significantly manageable. Due to their hard work, my wife’s visa was approved within a month. They were able to expedite the visa for my wife.

My partner and I have gone to Gentili Stark for our 2 year and indefinite leave to remain visa applications after working with other solicitors that we weren't happy with. Stephane and Claudia are supportive, knowledgeable, communicative, efficient, take time to explain everything in detail, are very prompt and are reassuring throughout the whole process. Their guidance, expertise, consistency and patience was much appreciated during a process that is lengthy, detailed and stressful. I highly recommend them!

Stephane is the most considerate person and ensures that cases win. He explains every step of the process throughly and makes sure that I understand decisions I make to the highest extent. He also charges a reasonable price for the high level of work done. Moreover Stephane is a kind individual who makes everything understandable and easy to follow. Knowing that Stephane is handling a case is very reassuring. He is the reason why I can live with my son.
