The Home Office keeps a list of published nationalities that require a visa before arrival; all other nationalities are classed as ‘non-visa nationals’ and can normally enter as a visitor on entry. However, it’s important to note that non-visa nationals will still need to meet the requirements of the Standard Visitor Visa, so legal guidance may be beneficial even if you do not need to go through the visa application process.

For UK businesses to hire international talent, a Sponsor Licence is a requisite. Formerly referred to as a Tier 2 Sponsor Licence, this certification empowers UK employers to issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) and bring overseas professionals on board under Skilled Worker visas.
Sponsor Licences are integral to UK businesses for sourcing talent globally, especially across sectors like Healthcare, Hospitality, Construction, Telecoms, IT, and Media. The process to secure such a licence is stringent, and keeping it active necessitates strict regulatory compliance.

Our Testimonials
This firm can only be described as excellent. Their knowledge of immigration law is second to none. The fast efficient way that they deal with situations is first-class professionalism at its very best. Once you have used Jay and his team you will never use anyone else.
Jay Moghal of Rove Legal is extremely professional and has deep and impressive knowledge of all aspects of immigration law and procedure. He is creative and a great communicator, fierce and energising, encouraging the pursuit of his clients’ cases with impeccable judgement. I would not hesitate to recommend Jay. His knowledge and professionalism shines through in every event.
Jay and his team assisted with switching over from a student BRP to a spousal one. All I had to do was show up to my appointment and take my fingerprints/photos. They handled the rest! What a dream.
Rove Legal were an absolute dream to deal with. Jay Moghal was our appointed lawyer and he was excellent to deal with. He ensured we submitted all of the required documents and when our application was delayed with COVID challenges he chased the UK Government to expedite the issue and ensure a successful outcome. Highly recommend Rove Legal and Jay to anyone who needs immigration to support.
Highly recommended. Jay is a thorough professional, who reviewed the case in depth, looked after all the aspects and his suggestions on what I should submit with the case were spot on. I don’t think my case would have been accepted without his help.
I had a very good experience with Mr Jay Moghal. I faced a couple of problems and appreciate his professionalism and transparency to deal with my issues and solve the problem. I highly recommend him.
