Immigration and Sponsorship Advice for Coventry
Coventry's advanced manufacturing and automotive sector, including major employers around the wider West Midlands motor industry, regularly needs to recruit specialist engineers and technical staff from overseas and we advise employers through the full sponsor licence process, from a first application through to keeping an existing licence compliant. Alongside that, Coventry University and the University of Warwick on the city's edge bring in students from around the world, many of whom go on to apply for a Graduate Visa and later a spouse visa, once they have built a life in the city.
We support clients across Coventry and the wider Warwickshire area, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Kenilworth, entirely through remote consultations.
We do not run a Coventry office. Given the city's own history of connecting with people and places at a distance, working remotely by phone and video call has never felt like a compromise here, just a modern version of the same principle. Consultations are arranged around your schedule, including evenings and weekends, with documents and evidence handled securely online.
