With in-depth specialist knowledge and experience, Thorntons Immigration Law can help your business navigate the complex UK Visa and Immigration application process. Whether you are a start-up looking to recruit or retain specialist foreign talent, an entrepreneur wanting to set up a business in the UK, a care home thinking of recruiting from abroad to deal with staff shortages, or a global company looking to transfer employees from abroad to your UK operations, our team can help you achieve the best outcome for your business.
There are various visa routes depending on your business stage needs, for instance entrepreneur visas, and specific sector demands, such as care worker visas and religious worker visas. The individual employees themselves will need to apply for a work visa, such as via the UK worker visas route, while as the sponsoring employer you will need to have a sponsor licence and ensure ongoing compliance with the UK Immigration regulations.
We offer in-person consultations with our immigration specialists at our Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow Offices, or via a video call if you prefer. To arrange a consultation, please call 03330 430350 or complete our enquiry form below.
