As the world of UK immigration law is continuously evolving, with new immigration routes, new guidance and new rules being implemented regularly by the Home Office, it is essential to keep up-to-date with the latest immigration news and announcements. We aim to report on the majority of these changes via our blogs. We also often post overviews of the various immigration routes and discuss requirements within the different visa categories.
So what have we been talking about recently?
What is the English Language Requirement
Posted: 18 January 2022.
Providing evidence of the main applicant’s English language knowledge is required for the majority of UK visa categories, with each route specifying the level of proficiency to be demonstrated. This is also the case for those applying for settlement in the UK. There are, however, certain cases where individuals are exempted from this requirement, mostly due to their age, lack of capacity, or because of the absence of provisions for settlement in the UK under a certain route. In this blog, we discuss the English Language Requirement in more detail.
What is the Tuberculosis test and who needs it to enter the UK?
Posted: 20 January 2022.
For those who are planning to come to the UK for more than six months and are resident in one of the number of specified countries, there is a requirement to have a negative pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) test taken before applying for a visa. This is to detect the presence of TB and prevent its transmission to others when travelling. In this blog, we discuss who needs to get a TB test before travelling to the UK, and what are the exemptions.
What will happen if I forget to register with the Police or miss the deadlines?
Posted: 19 January 2022.
Registering with the police is required for many types of visa if the individual holds a certain nationality and comes to the UK for more than 6 months. The requirement to register is usually stated in their letter of approval, visa vignette, and/or biometric residence permit. There is also a further duty to report any changes of personal details and circumstances such as a change of name, address, passport, or marital status. In this blog, we discuss the requirement for registration in more detail, including the ongoing delay with registration in London, and consequences for not registering or failing to update details.
