Five Star International

Five Star International: immigration advice from Glasgow

Five Star International Ltd operates from Suite 2/4, Magwrx, 251 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. The firm presents itself as a specialist immigration services provider with more than 20 years of experience, covering business, personal and family immigration. Its team is described as combining experience in UK immigration law, with particular strength in sponsor licensing and compliance.

The company states that it is registered by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA). It also describes its approach as detailed and personal, aiming to give each client clear, comprehensive and honest advice tailored to their situation, whether a business or an individual.

Sponsor licence work for employers

A central part of the practice is support for UK employers that need a Sponsor Licence to hire non-UK workers. The service range covers the application itself, ongoing management of the licence and compliance. Related to this, the firm lists UK Self-Sponsorship among its routes.

Work, business and visitor visas

On the employment side, Five Star International handles the Skilled Worker Visa and the Business Visitor Visa, and it refers clients to the Immigration Salary List (ISL). The site also covers UK Entry Clearance and eVisas within its visa offering.

Individual and family immigration

For private clients, the firm addresses family reunion and settlement matters. Its listed services include Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), Further Leave to Remain (FLR), Nationality & Citizenship and Visit Visas. The team presents itself as able to assist at every stage of the immigration journey, including bringing a loved one to the UK or joining family already resident there.

Appeals and reviews

Five Star International also handles Appeals & Reviews. The firm explains that the UK immigration appeals process allows a refused visa decision to be contested and that several types of appeal exist. It claims a track record of winning cases where others have failed.

Origins and related business

The company traces its origin to the need to secure skilled staff in hospitality and states that, 20 years on, it is one of the leading immigration firms in the UK, a description that reflects its own presentation. A sister company, Recruitment Solvers, works with skilled overseas workers and UK businesses facing staff shortages, matching abilities with opportunities.
