Tips to Improve Your Chances of UK immigration

The UK is one of the most sought-after countries in the world, with people across the globe looking to settle here. It’s unsurprising, however, that immigration officials tend to be incredibly scrutinising, cautious and selective about whose visas are granted.  

Immigration isn’t easy here; in fact, it’s an incredibly confusing, complex, and sometimes difficult to predict. The Points Based System, British nationality law and European law are some of the basis of applying for immigration to the UK in general, or Britain and Europe in particular.

There are several types of immigration and needs when applying to the UK, including student visas, work visas (Tier 1, 2, 5), naturalisation, family visas, asylum, refugee or humanitarian ground.

No matter what your requirements and reasons for applying may be, keeping some of the following tips in mind can help strengthen your application:

Know visa types and their specific requirements

Depending on the type of visa you apply for, you’ll have to meet various requirements and criteria. For instance, to apply for a certain work visa, you’re required to have your job offer in place, or a job that matches your skill level—a regulation that will apply to individuals from the EU too 2021 onwards.

Whether you’re applying to permanently settle in the UK, or moving because you’ve found the perfect career opportunity, or you’re applying for asylum and seeking refugee status, you need to know what your options are and where you rank. The Points Based System factors in many of these criteria and where you rank on them, including expected pay scale and language fluency.

Understand the changes in immigration policy

As we mentioned earlier, changing immigration policy will begin to affect groups that were previously unaffected by it too. These measures emerge in light of changing global tides, and the UK is no exception. Immigrants will be faced with more challenges and might be at risk of having their applications rejected. However, it can be difficult and overwhelming to keep up with changes in policy, which is why it’s important to have professional help.
