We specialise exclusively in UK immigration

At Permits2Work our focus is on offering UK immigration advice to clients ranging from micro start-ups to global entities. This focus, combined with decades of experience gives us an understanding of exactly what works—and why.

We are registered, regularly assessed and accredited to the highest level by the Immigration Advice Authority (the UK government regulator for immigration advisors).

From application to approval, we have worked with everyone from blue-chip organisations to top-tier football clubs, offering step-by-step support for those looking to bring global talent to the UK.

We pride ourselves on a personal, professional approach—ensuring every client receives clear guidance, practical solutions, and the highest standards of care. It’s our job to take the pain out of immigration.

A high success rate

We bring 20+ years of experience in guiding UK employers on immigration matters. During that time we’ve successfully secured thousands of visas for our clients across the entire range of immigration categories. We consistently achieve successful outcomes for our clients.

A tailored approach

At Permits2Work no case is ever routine to us—each one receives the focused care and respect it deserves. Each case is assigned to an expert caseworker who will guide you through the process and be a point of contact for any questions or issues that arise. We are committed to assisting individuals and organisations with the experienced attention that complex immigration matters demand. 

A structured process

After an initial consultation, we can advise you on the specific rules and requirements regarding your matter, detail any relevant documents and evidence you will need to produce, guide you through the process and make an application on your behalf. Not only do we take the pain out of immigration, we ensure that you get it right from the start.

A safe pair of hands

Immigration mistakes can be costly, take time to fix and cause untold reputational damage to organisations. Errors can also wreak havoc on the careers and family life of those seeking to work or live in the UK. Many of our clients come to us to fix errors made in previous applications, and many of these individuals and organisations come back to us time and again for future applications.

A proud history

We’re proud of the part we play in helping shape careers, strengthening businesses, and creating lasting opportunities for our clients. The positive experiences shared by those we’ve helped over the years demonstrate how the right immigration support can make all the difference.

Real challenges. Successful outcomes. See how we've helped.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's how we've helped organisations like yours work through real immigration challenges and come out the other side.

"Permits2work has done it again. I first got involved with Permits2work when my Tier 1 visa was refused by the home office. I only had 28 days left in the country after which; I should have lost my residence rights. Permits2work submitted my Tier 2 applications, and I secured the visa on time. The whole team at Permits2work knows what they are talking about. I have recommended a few people to them. They are always helpful."

Corporate Visa Client

"Used their services twice, first time my case was complicated (Ill advise from different solicitor) I choose them, because they spoke to me without demanding money upfront (others demand money first),listened to me and gave me advise.
