Insights
The latest from our immigration desk, updated automatically.
- Skilled Worker Extension Applications: Salary Requirements for Workers Sponsored on or After 4 April 2024Employers preparing Skilled Worker extension applications must establish whether the employee’s salary meets the requirements in force at the relevant time. Particular attention should be given to workers whose first Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned on or after 4 April 2024, as they cannot ordinarily rely on the more favourable salary arrangements available under the pre-April 2024 transitional provisions.
- UK Child Student Visa: Requirements, Costs and Application GuideUK Child Student visa allows overseas children aged between 4 and 17 to study at an independent school in the United Kingdom. It is designed for young people who have secured an unconditional place at a school licensed to sponsor international students.
- Pakistan and Uganda Athletes Reported Missing After Commonwealth GamesSeveral athletes from Pakistan and Uganda have reportedly gone missing in Glasgow after competing in the 2026 Commonwealth Games, raising questions about their whereabouts and potential immigration status in the UK. According to reports cited by the BBC, Police Scotland confirmed that it had received information concerning several athletes who were “unaccounted for” following the conclusion of the Games.
- How Are UK Vape Shops and Car Washes Still Sponsoring Workers Under Stricter Visa Rules?UK Skilled Worker visa rules have become considerably stricter, yet thousands of small businesses including convenience stores, barber shops, taxi firms, car washes and vape shops reportedly remain on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors. So, does being on the sponsor list mean these businesses can still recruit workers from overseas The short answer is: not necessarily.
- Returning to the UK After a Long Absence: Understanding Returning Resident RulesFor individuals who previously held Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Indefinite Leave to Enter (ILE), returning to the UK after an extended period abroad may not always be straightforward. UK immigration law provides specific rules governing when settlement lapses and the circumstances in which a former settled person may regain their status through a Returning Resident visa.
- UK Immigration Fee Waiver: Eligibility, Evidence and the Application ProcessThe cost of applying for permission to stay in the UK can be considerable. Alongside the application fee, many applicants are also required to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). For individuals who cannot meet these costs, the Home Office provides a fee waiver in limited circumstances.
Frequently asked questions
What immigration services does Morgan Smith Immigration provide?
We advise on the full spectrum of UK immigration: sponsor licences and compliance for employers, work visas from Skilled Worker to Global Business Mobility, founder and talent routes, family and partner visas, student and visitor routes, and settlement through to British citizenship. We also offer flexible service levels from a one-off assessment to full application submission.
Are you regulated immigration advisers?
Yes. Morgan Smith Immigration is regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA), the UK regulator for immigration advice. You can verify our registration through the verification banner on our contact page.
Do you work with businesses or individuals?
Both. Around half our work is business immigration (sponsor licences, compliance and sponsored hiring), and half is personal: partners, families, students, settlement and citizenship. Offices in London and Dubai serve clients worldwide.
How much do your services cost?
Government fees are fixed by the Home Office and shown on every route page. Our own service fees depend on the service level (assessment, application checking, or full submission) and are quoted individually before any work starts.
How quickly can you take on my case?
An adviser calls you back within one business day of your enquiry. Urgent matters like visa expiry, refusals and Home Office deadlines are prioritised; tell us the date you are working against.
Which visa route is right for me?
That is usually the first question we answer. The route depends on your circumstances such as your job offer, family ties, business plans or study place, and choosing the wrong one costs months. Start with a call and we will map your options.

Two London offices and one in Dubai. See our offices and opening hours.
