UK Visas and Immigration
When coming to the UK many rules and legislation exist to protect you. Whilst the most important to learn is your visa and immigration rights, other rights extend to you before you have even arrived.
As the UK is part of the EU, you are covered by EU legislation.
This encompasses such elements such as EU 261, consumer protection for flight delays. This protects you in the event of delayed, cancelled flights or if denied boarding and can often result in the award of compensation when claims are issued correctly.
You can claim back 6 years under UK law, so when you enter the UK for the very first time or if you are regularly back and forth you are covered. To be eligible your delay must be 3 hours or more. Whilst you can claim yourself, often flight delay solicitors are the best route to go and will typically pursue the airlines on your behalf on a no win no fee basis.
You can apply for a Standard Visitor visa if you want to visit the UK:
- for leisure, eg on holiday or to see your family and friends
- for business, or to take part in sports or creative events
- for another reason, eg to receive private medical treatment
Check if you need this visa if you’re visiting from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland.
