Getting your head around the different types of visas can be complicated. UK Visa & Immigration have a wealth of experience in immigration law so we can be sure to give you the best advice on the market. Your dedicated, experienced visa consultant will advise and guide you through the whole UK Visa process, from start to finish. In order to complete your Visa application efficiently your matter will be dealt with in four distinct stages:

1. A detailed assessment of your personal circumstances

Your consultation will be with one of our regulated advisers, who are fully registered with the authorising body. During this initial consultation, your adviser will probe in depth into your facts and advise you accordingly on the best route possible for you.

2. Pre-application, where we will ensure that we receive the correct documents to strengthen your case

We fully advise you both verbally and in writing as to what documents the deliberating authority will be looking for in support of your application. Your fully qualified caseworker will give you advice tailor made to your visa requirements.

3. The completion of your UK Visa application with legal representation

Once we have completed the application, we will then proceed to strengthen your case with supporting legal representations. We take time in doing so in order to make your case as 'watertight' and professional as possible.

4. Submission of your UK Visa application

Once all representations have been drafted by your regulated caseworker, your application will be checked by the immigration supervisor and then either sent to you to submit to the deliberating body, or alternatively we can take that pressure off you also and lodge the same ourselves. Once lodged we closely monitor the progress of your application with the deliberating body in order to expedite the decision in your favour.

Coverage for Hospital Treatment

In many foreign countries, travelers who are not citizens of that country are required to pay cash for medical services. Domestic policies often do not cover foreign hospital treatments (although students who are covered by their institutional health plans are often fully covered when engaged in programs such as study abroad). When they do cover such treatment, the compensation is often issued as a reimbursement long after the hospital treatment is completed. Travel health insurance is designed to replace out-of-pocket payments for hospital treatment. Europe Visa insurance or Schengen visa insurance for the travelers from any nation is very important as medical care costs are very high in Europe. The Schengen consulate has mandated health insurance coverage for the travelers. Europe visa insurance fulfills the health insurance requirements of Schengen consulate. Travelers with Europe insurance and Schengen visa can travel to 24 Schengen countries. Schengen visa insurance benefits:
