No more dealing with bureaucracy. You give us the facts once, and you always know what stage the case is at. ### 1. Understand your options On the consultation we review your record, your business or your offer, then name the routes worth testing so you can decide with the facts in front of you. ### 2. Build the route strategy Your lawyer reads the case, names the weak points and maps the evidence, the sequence and what is missing before anything is written. ### 3. Prepare the file With minimal input from you: certificates, letters, translations, forms and the route-specific evidence, checked twice. ### 4. Submit and manage We book the appointments, submit the case, talk to the Home Office and track the decision. ### 5. Bureaucratic tasks solved We guide the tax registrations and residence permits, so the move does not stall once the visa is issued; housing search is an add-on where agreed. ## FAQ ### How long does a UK visa decision take? A decision usually takes about three weeks after you submit, and priority services can be faster. Global Talent adds an endorsement stage first, which can take around eight weeks. End to end, plan 2 to 6 months for Global Talent, 10 to 16 weeks for Innovator Founder and 1 to 6 months for Skilled Worker. ### How much money do I need to show? Skilled Worker: a salary from £41,700, lower for some occupations. Global Talent: no salary minimum at all. Innovator Founder: your business is assessed, and you show maintenance funds of £1,270 for yourself, £285 for a partner, £315 for a first child and £200 for each additional child, held for 28 days. ### Which jobs qualify for the Skilled Worker visa? Roles on the Skilled Worker occupation list, including IT and software development, healthcare, engineering and science, finance, teaching and research. The role has to meet both the skill level and the salary rule. ### Can my family come with me? Yes. Your spouse or partner and children under 18 apply as dependants and get the right to live, study and work. On Innovator Founder you show £285 for a partner, £315 for a first child and £200 for each additional child. Skilled Worker sponsors usually certify maintenance on the Certificate of Sponsorship. ### Do I need a UK job offer? Only for Skilled Worker. Global Talent is decided on your record and Innovator Founder on your business, and neither starts with a sponsor. ### What do I get with permanent residence? Permanent residence in the UK is called Indefinite Leave to Remain. It gives you an unrestricted right to live and work, full access to eligible benefits, no immigration conditions, freedom to travel and return, and a later route to British citizenship. ## Booking [Book a consultation or contact Relovisa](https://tobira.ai/@relovisa).
