5 Reasons to Immigrate to UK

Great Britain is often the choice of foreigners who are interested in attending prestigious colleges recognized worldwide, who would like to start a company in a reputable business climate, or who would like to live and work in a country highly appreciated and rich in culture and interesting openings. In matters of visas, UK residence cards, and British citizenship there are several requirements for non-EU citizens which can be explained by our team of immigration solicitors in London.

1. UK has an excellent education system

There are many citizens who decide for UK when it comes to studying in this country and that because of the multitude of choices they have. The University College in London (UCL), the Royal College of Music, Kingston University in London, the London Business School and London Metropolitan University are only a few of the prestigious and highly rated colleges in UK. Foreigners should consider the requirements for a student visa for UK, such as:

• they need to have sufficient funds to support themselves during college;
• written and spoken English knowledge are mandatory when applying for a student visa;
• the medical insurance and the courses need to be paid;
• a child-student visa for children aged 4 to 17 is issued with the consent of a parent or guardian.

All the conditions for obtaining a student visa can be explained by our UK immigration lawyer. Our specialists can help you obtain a residence permit in UK.

2. Easy integration into the community

Foreigners should not be afraid of the steps involved in community integration in UK. It is a well-known fact that the UK authorities are fighting against racism and any related prejudgments. Moreover, there are many non-profit organizations involved in helping foreigners easily integrate into UK, through all sorts of projects, programmes, and campaigns. Foreign citizens have the possibility of learning the English language and fit in the community they live in with no trouble.  More details in this matter can be offered by our UK immigration lawyer.

3. Taking advantage of an excellent healthcare system in UK

All immigrants who are lawfully living in the UK (including visa holders who paid the Immigration Health Surcharge) can benefit from a series of medical treatments if they register for the National Health Service (NHS). Having access to the health system is an important right for locals and foreign citizens living in Great Britain. Also, citizens of any nationality and status in UK should know that emergency cases are treated with priority in UK. Extra details can be offered by our London immigration lawyer.

4. British citizenship comes with full rights

Foreign citizens who lived in UK for at least 5 years can apply for British citizenship under certain conditions. For instance, they should provide a clear criminal record, indefinite leave to remain, and solid information about the life and culture in UK. Citizenship by naturalization is granted for all citizens of at least 18 years of age, and complete legal assistance in this matter can be provided by our London immigration lawyer.

5. The work permits in UK are easy to obtain

Non-EU citizens can apply for a work permit if they want to live and work in UK. This is not a complicated process and the conditions for obtaining a work permit can be explained by our advisors. For instance, business persons from abroad can apply for an Innovator Founder visa (the Tier 1 entrepreneur visa closed in 2019) if they want to start a company and if their business idea is endorsed by an approved endorsing body. As for those citizens interested in other areas, they can apply for an International Sportsperson visa, a Temporary Work visa for temporary workers, or for persons working in the diplomatic field. If all the conditions are met, foreign citizens can receive the work permit necessary for the jobs they have applied for.
