Residency in London
Our UK immigration lawyer can offer you a wide range of solutions to immigration issues, which can be provided to persons living in the United Kingdom or to individuals who are interested in receiving a visa on British territory. The legislation related to the residence permit in UK changed in 2012 when the government enacted the new immigration regulations. The law has modified the length of time for which the family of a person staying in UK must live here before applying for settlement. For the persons who have received the right to reside in London, it is stipulated that they should live here for five years before applying for settlement. The legislation is enforced for the persons who applied for permission to stay in UK starting with the 9th of July 2012; in the case of those who were granted to enter the UK before this date, the previous legislation applies. The legislation is applicable to the close family of the following:
- British citizens (family reunification enters the discussion);
- persons settled in UK (citizens from EU or from countries outside EU);
- refugees (we can manage your application if you want to be protected in UK);
- persons who were granted humanitarian protection (the special conditions can be explained by our immigration solicitors).
If you want to settle in London, UK, it is advisable to receive the legal assistance of a London immigration lawyer as the legislation may vary according to your citizenship (for example, citizens of the European Union have less restrictive regulations, as opposed to individuals living outside EU).

Moreover, individuals who lived in the UK for at least five years under Humanitarian Protection have the right to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
