UK Visa Knowledge Centre

Welcome to First Migration’s UK Visa Knowledge Centre, a free resource to help you understand the complexities of applying for a UK work or family visa.

Understanding the UK Immigration System

The biggest part of ensuring your UK visa application is successful is understanding how the UK immigration system works. This means understanding the eligibility criteria, the application process, and the documentary requirements. While the system has been designed to be used by individuals, it’s not a simple or forgiving process to undertake. Our UK Visa Knowledge Centre aims to help you by providing relevant, plain English, and up-to-date information on the key areas of work and family visas. We hope this information aids you with the preparation of your visa application, and of course, we’re always on hand if you need a UK Visa Expert to help secure your visa approval. We offer a range of services, from Full Representation to a Checking Service.
