Permanent Residence Solicitors

We will normally be able to submit most types of application within 2 weeks of instruction provided we have received all the necessary documentation, however in urgent cases we can make an application more quickly.

We cannot guarantee how long the Home Office will take to process your application. However, the current processing times can be found on the Home Office website.

Please note the anticipated number of hours and fees are estimates based the average cost in previous cases we have dealt with. All applications are likely to vary and of course, we can give you a more accurate estimate once we have more information about your specific case.

The Home Office will closely examine any applications they get, and any mistakes could mean stressful delays. We have years of experience in preparing successful applications and can help you secure your future in the UK as quickly as possible.

We can advise you on what evidence you need to prove your five year residency and how to present it to the Home Office. If you can’t apply for permanent residence or citizenship, we can advise on other options. In some cases, we can help you appeal if you’ve already applied and been unfairly refused.

If your business has EEA or Swiss employees, residency issues could pose a real difficulty for you and your workforce. Our team can offer commercially-minded advice to help you manage this risk and support your staff. The changes to permanent residence could impact your long-term recruitment strategy, and we can work closely with you to plan for the future of your business.

We take the time to really understand your situation, so you get advice that’s tailored to you. We’ll explain everything to you in plain English and update you with every development, so you’ll always know exactly where you stand.

Immigration concerns can be stressful enough by themselves but often involve other legal questions about taxes, property, or family as well. We work with specialists in areas of law so you can get all the advice you need without the hassle of managing multiple different firms.

Your immigration status is vital to your career and way of life, so give yourself the peace of mind of having a top team on your side. We’re ranked among the UK’s best immigration solicitors in independent legal directories, Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, and we’re ready to help.

We have set out some typical fee estimates on our pricing page, for some of the most common types of applications.

These fees are calculated by reference to our hourly rates which vary depending on the experience of the lawyer carrying out the work.
