Permits 2 Work is a British immigration advisory firm that has been operating since 2001 and serves both organisations needing to bring in international talent and individuals arranging their relocation or residence in the UK. Its work covers every stage of the immigration process, from the initial application to resolving refusals and appeals.

The firm advises UK employers on obtaining and managing sponsor licences, including initial applications, audits and compliance reporting. On the corporate side, it handles the Skilled Worker visa, the Global Business Mobility visa, the International Sportsperson visa, the Health and Care Worker visa, the Global Talent visa and the Innovator Founder visa.

Personal visas and residence

For individuals, Permits 2 Work manages Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), the spouse or partner visa, naturalisation as a British citizen, the UK Ancestry visa and the Child Dependent visa. It also provides support in cases of refusal and appeal.

Sector specialisation
