UK Immigration Advice for Brighton Individuals, Families and Businesses
Brighton has a particularly varied population, from international students and graduates to professionals, business owners and families with connections across the world. That means immigration needs can look very different from one client to another. We advise Brighton clients on family and partner visas, work and business immigration, student routes, visitor applications, settlement and British citizenship. We also assist employers who need to recruit overseas workers or understand their responsibilities as a UK sponsor.
Speak to an immigration lawyer about your Brighton case — consultations from £50 per hour, with fixed fees available for full applications.
UK immigration law is not devolved to Brighton or the local authorities. The same Home Office immigration rules apply in Brighton as throughout England and the wider UK. We do not currently have a Brighton office, but our service is designed to work remotely. Consultations take place by telephone or video call, making it possible to receive specialist immigration advice without travelling to an office. Evening and weekend appointments can also be arranged where available. Our remote service extends across Brighton, Hove and surrounding areas of East Sussex.

Immigration Services for Brighton Clients
Every immigration application has its own eligibility requirements, evidence and potential risks. We provide advice and application support across a broad range of UK immigration routes.
Spouse Visa
If your spouse is British, settled or otherwise eligible to sponsor you, we can help with the full spouse visa process. This includes assessing eligibility, reviewing financial and relationship evidence, preparing the application and advising on extensions and the eventual route to settlement. We also assist with spouse visa applications and spouse visa extensions.
Partner Visas
Unmarried couples and couples planning to marry in the UK may need a different immigration route from a married couple. We advise on unmarried partner visas, fiancé visas and civil partnership visas, including the evidence needed to demonstrate a genuine and qualifying relationship.
Family Visas
Family immigration can involve complicated eligibility rules, particularly where relatives have different immigration statuses or where an applicant requires long-term care. Our family immigration work includes dependent child visas, adult dependent relative visas and the UK Ancestry Visa for eligible Commonwealth citizens with a qualifying British-born grandparent.
Student Visas
Brighton's universities and higher education sector attract students from around the world. We advise international students on the requirements for studying in the UK and on immigration options after graduation. Our services include Student Visa applications, Child Student Visas and the Graduate Visa for eligible graduates who want to remain in the UK after completing their studies.
Work Visas
Brighton's technology, creative, hospitality, professional and business sectors can all involve international recruitment. We help employers and workers with the Skilled Worker Visa, including checking whether the proposed role, salary and occupation code meet the relevant requirements. We also advise eligible individuals on the Global Talent Visa and entrepreneurs considering the Innovator Founder Visa.
Visitor Visas
If relatives or friends want to visit Brighton from overseas, they may need to obtain a UK Standard Visitor Visa before travelling. We assist with UK visitor visa applications, as well as Child Visitor Visas and Student Visitor Visas for eligible short-term study.
UK Settlement and Citizenship
For people who have lived in Brighton for the required qualifying period, the next step may be settlement or British citizenship. We advise on Indefinite Leave to Remain, British citizenship and naturalisation, including eligibility, residence requirements and supporting evidence.
Immigration Legal Services
Some immigration matters require more than a straightforward visa application. We assist with difficult cases involving immigration detention, bail applications, pre-action protocol letters and appeals and administrative review where there may be grounds to challenge a Home Office decision.
