A UK spouse visa is a good way for people who are the spouse or civil partner of someone settled in the UK or of a British citizen. A spouse visa is however not easy to obtain as it requires you to provide enough evidence that you and your partner are a real couple.

The UK is one of the most lucrative markets for businesses as having a branch in the UK or a stronghold in the UK market takes you a step closer to establishing yourself in Europe in general. We all want to succeed and to succeed we have to grow. Every visa category has its own set of rules and regulations which if are not followed by the visa holder can get their visa revoked. Similarly, there are certain restrictions that are placed on a sole rep visa holder that if violated can lead to his or her visa being revoked. If the visa is revoked it not only harms the individual but the whole company that they are representative of in the UK. One of such rules is that they are not allowed to work or study in the UK. They are only allowed to work for their parent company in th...

Your application for a Sole Representative Visa must be made on an online form (with the exception of North Korea). Supporting documentation must also be submitted electronically and you will also need to supply your biometric details (i.e. fingerprints and photographs) in person at a visa application centre.
