Could you claim British citizenship through an unmarried British father?

Form UKF may offer a route for some people affected by historic nationality rules. Your birth date and place, your father’s nationality history and the evidence available can all matter.

A late birth certificate or a father’s death may not automatically prevent an application.

A visit to the UK office. A few meetings. Some remote work. Where is the line?

What an overseas employee actually does during their stay matters. A short trip alone does not make every work activity permissible.

Buying a business does not mean buying its sponsor licence.

A sponsor licence belongs to the licensed organisation and cannot simply be transferred to a new owner. Depending on the structure of the transaction, the businesses involved may need to report the change and apply for a new licence within 20 working days.

Our latest guide explains the key risks and actions for buyers, sellers and HR teams.

Can dependants of UK visa holders work in the UK?

In most cases, yes. Dependant partners can generally work full-time or part-time, change employers, take more than one job, become self-employed or establish a business—without requiring sponsorship from a UK employer.

However, dependant permission is not a single immigration category. The precise right to work depends on the individual’s immigration route and the conditions recorded on their eVisa. Employers must also complete a valid right-to-work check before employment begins.

Our latest guide explains the permitted types of work, key restrictions and what happens if the main visa holder changes jobs or immigration route.
