Do you have a child living in the UK?

You may be able to apply for a UK Parent Visa, but eligibility depends on more than simply being their parent. Your child's immigration status, your parental responsibility or access arrangements, and your involvement in their upbringing can all affect an application.

Our latest guide explains who can apply, the evidence you may need, the English language and financial requirements, current costs and the routes to settlement.

The new Right to Work rules are now in force. But what does the final Home Office guidance actually mean for employers?

The guidance provides important clarification on agency workers, contractors, contractual chains, extended liability, written statements, supplier audits and identity checks.

It also confirms that the new regime is not generally retrospective and that hirers are not routinely expected to duplicate Right to Work checks carried out by employment businesses in standard agency arrangements.

Our latest article breaks down what has been clarified, what remains uncertain and the practical steps businesses should consider now.

Can you work while studying in the UK on a Student visa?

Your working rights depend on factors including your course, education provider and whether you are working during or outside term time.

There are also some important restrictions that students may not realise, particularly around freelancing, self-employment, voluntary work and certain types of jobs.

Our latest article explains what you can and cannot do while working on a UK Student visa, as well as what happens to your working rights after completing your studies.
