UK immigration in light of the Brexit

The immigration, visa and residence permit rules are different according to the nationality of the applicant. This rule has become increasingly important in the context of Britain leaving the EU. The Withdrawal Agreement set out the terms for UK’s retraction from the European Union and establishes the terms for citizens’ rights. The transition period is set to last until 21 December 2020 and during this time the former rules for living in the UK are still applicable. The relationship between the UK and the EU will be overseen by the Cabinet Office.

Our team of immigration lawyers in London is ready to assist you if you wish to seek employment, study, or apply for family reunification in the UK starting with 2021. You can reach out to us for personalized assistance according to your nationality and the purpose of your long-term stay in England.
