As a law firm specialising in UK immigration and cross-border business matters, we can offer the following services:
- Consultation and advice on whether the planned activities (for example, installation, servicing, maintenance) fall within the scope of the UK’s visitor immigration rules, including Permitted activities (PA7)PA7 and Appendix V. We will also address any specific questions you may have in this regard.
The fee for an initial consultation of up to one hour starts at £495 (plus VAT, if applicable), depending on the length and complexity of any documents we are required to review prior to providing advice.
Following an initial assessment of your needs, we can provide a tailored proposal for any further assistance required.
- Review of contractual documentation to assess whether the arrangements comply with UK immigration requirements and are suitable for the business visitor route.
- Drafting of invitation letters for employees of overseas contractors or group companies, outlining the arrangement, purpose, scope, and duration of their visit to support border entry.
- Preparation of detailed instructions and guidance for travelling employees, including how to apply for ETA and what to expect at the UK border and the documents they should carry.
- Real-time support and communication at the time of border crossing (subject to prior agreement and availability), to assist with any queries or issues that may arise.
- Ongoing immigration compliance support to ensure that your business and its contractors operate within the legal framework and avoid potential enforcement risks.
