Apply for BNO Visa to live, work, and study in the UK. The UK government has recently announced to open a British National Overseas (BNO) visa for the British National Overseas and their close family members from 31 January 2021.
The applicants will be able to apply for entry clearance or leave to remain and will be granted initially 30 months visa extendable for further 30 months. After 5 years they will be eligible to apply for settlement and later British nationality. Applicants will be able to apply from outside or inside the UK.

The United Kingdom has a "short stay" entry. BNO visas are designed for those who enter England, Scotland and Wales (and sometimes Northern Ireland if it is part of their itinerary). It's not that hard to get a visit. British National Overseas visa can be obtained by filling out an application with your travel agency, your airline company or the nearest British embassy in your country. However, what many people do not know is you can apply for a BNO visa independently! This is especially good news for travellers who live in countries where there are no British embassies nearby or do not want to go through the trouble of asking companies they work with to issue a visa as part of their tour.
It is important to note that a British National Overseas (BNO) visa is designed for those who want to visit the country for less than 6 months and do not need long-term residence rights on British soil (in other words, it's time to see Europe and go because you will not settle there). If you want to stay longer or work in Britain, we recommend getting a different type of visa (where you can find all the information on our website). It should be noted that if one of your main reasons for visiting England is education; then this short stay will become even shorter since such visas usually allow only 5 days to study! This means that whoever wants to continue his studies should seek alternative options. Hopefully, this article will help you decide whether or not it is worth your while to apply for BNO visa application.
Note: Don't worry about any immigration cases or visa issues; request a callback. Our assessment team respond to your callback request and schedule a call as soon as possible.

Your partner can then live with you here without needing any separate permission from us. They won’t need to make another application if their circumstances change while they are here – for example, if their relationship ends or changes.

They have brilliant and accomodating staff who had clarified all my queries with utmost patience. Very efficient and reliable. Very good documentation. Very confident in what they do and has been successful in helping me get visa for my wife. Thanks TMC solicitors. A special thanks to Muazzam and Hannah. I would strongly recommend TMC Solicitors to everybody.

My case was quite complex and I was really scared about my spouse visa not being successful. But all the staff at TMC reassured me and Alhumdulilah today my husband has got his visa!! They have been very helpful to me! I used to call random times in the day and so many times and they always assured me that everything will be ok!! Thank You TMC Solicitors
TMC Solicitors provided excellent service. Very friendly and supportive staff, always available to clarify if any questions or doubts. The guidance throughout the application process was precise and upto the point. Thanks for all your help. TMC solicitors are definitely recommended.
TMC Solicitors are a dedicated law firm with a friendly team that are both professional and ethical in their business practice.
They are very thorough and their paper work is impeccable. They will always pick up your call or return your call if they are busy.
They guide and brief you well on what to expect regarding your case and are always happy to welcome you (if you need a one to one meeting) in their Manchester offices. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone requiring legal services both within and outside the UK.
TMC solicitors were asked to make an application for a difficult case that involve domestic psychological violence . They conducted there work professionally and with careful anticipation of what might the home office through at them. They succeeded in obtaining the residency approval. I highly recommend them and I wish them all the success they deserve.
TMC Solicitors are very professional and would lay out all the options available to you before advising on the best option to take. Recently had an immigration matter that was proving very difficult to handle in the U.K. Produced all the documents requested by the Solicitors and they drafted supporting letter to the home office. Was not expecting to hear back from the home office for a while but was pleasantly surprised when a positive result was granted to us in less than 5 months.
From skepticism to elation! I can’t thank you and your dedicated team enough for the outstanding results achieved.
From our first meeting in July with respect to a refused visitor’s visa, to our last in November for the intended spousal visa, it has been an emotional and financial roller coaster. My wife, my son and I are so ecstatic at the exceptional service, guidance and wisdom that TMC Solicitors Ltd, that we strongly believe in putting it in writing
A spousal visa is no joke, with Home Office making it extremely difficult for someone to bring their spouse to the UK. Besides the financial costs, the emotional strains are almost unbearable. The horror stories you hear and read about, give you sleepless nights. This is not for the faint hearted, and definitely something that you can’t do alone.
I would suggest anyone struggling to get a visa for your spouse to make contact with Muazzam at TMC. Be warned however, that you should listen closely to his advice, ensure that you give him all the facts. Supply everything that’s needed, miss nothing.
Thank you all, once again, for everything. We will be in touch for the visa extensions and the citizenship applications
Kind regards

I was the first client to do the third party sponsor's with TMC solicitors Ltd and my application was successful. Asrar was my key worker he is professional and very polite thankyou for all your support
I would highly recommend TMC Solicitors in Manchester whom I used for my mother in law's immigration matter. TMC were very professional, friendly, empathetic with excellent communication and consequently we won our case and even went down in case history! TMC were very accommodating and the standard of their documentation is very good. Their fees are very reasonable and they are transparent. I also recommended them to my colleague for an unmarried partner visa and they behaved in the same professional manner and my colleague obtained the visa he required. I would recommend them again.
A special thanks to Asrar and to Muazzam. You guys did an excellent job and myself and my family will be forever grateful to TMC. May you continue to succeed in your business and grow.
The team was very friendly and helpful. Guided me through every step and was always available should I have any questions or concerns. Many thanks again for all your help.
They are very professional and I had a lot of support on this complicated process. My fiance got the EEA family permit visa in the first application,
Thanks,
GREAT SERVICE, CONFIDENT, RELIABLE, FAST RESPONSE KNOWLEDGEABLE etc...

Family Seek Visa help from TMC Solicitors. My sister and my two daughters have been refused a Genuine Standard Family UK Visiting Visa from Nigeria on several occasions. I finally sought for help from TMC Solicitors and they go through the previous refusal applications and they helped me to prepared a professional and well-presented application. The Solicitors ensure every points raised by the Entry Visa Clearance in the previous refusals were properly addressed, to my greatest shock and surprised the Entry Visa Clearance erroneously refused the Applicant's application. It was apparent that the ECO did not consider our new evidence submitted with the application. It was so sad and ridiculous that the ECO said there will be no Administrative Review or Appeal for the Applicant's . Thank God for TMC Solicitors that encourage me to challenge the decision. The solicitors wrote a Pre-Action Protocol letter to the Home Office and challenge the unreasonable decision of the ECO, shortly after they submitted an application for Judicial Review. At the end we received a good news from the Home Office that the Applicantions will be reconsidered and the Applicant's will be granted their Visa. I would like to use this opportunity to express my profound gratitude to TMC Solicitors for all their caring and professional dedication throughout the process. Thank you once again TMC Solicitors and I will always recommend your good work and services to anyone seeking help on their immigration problem.
Very happy with tmc solicitors my partner lives in Cyprus I have got my baby boy british passport very quickly within three weeks without DNA ..

TMC solicitors provide excellent service, it's the first time I have come across a very good solicitor, I have had bad experience in the past with other solicitors. All the staff here are really good and care about individual's applications, which i think is the key to a successful outcome. Hannah, Asrar Mauzam and the rest of the staff are all great and I would really recommend them to everyone. They are always there when you need to speak to them and deal with everything smoothly. Thank you TMC Solicitors

Very friendly, fast and great service . Helped me get a visa for my mrs and bring her over to the uk .very quick and efficient. Will definatley recomend to every one.. thank you
My future daughter-in-law had her fiancee visa refused on the grounds that she hadn't provided sufficient evidence of a long-term relationship with my son - she could have produced this if asked - and the whole family was deeply upset. In desperation we sought the legal advice of Immigration Solicitors 4me (locally known as TMC Solicitors). All the staff were extremely helpful and their legal expert, Muazzam Chughtai was fantastic. He looked carefully at all the documents we supplied and felt that my son's fiancee had such a strong case that she should apply again rather than appeal the original decision - which could take up to 48 weeks.
Muazzam gave us really good advice on what extra evidence we should provide and his covering letter was so strong that my son's fiancee was granted her visa less than 2 months after she was initially refused. It was the best Christmas present we could have wished for!
In conclusion, I can recommend them wholeheartedly if you want expert advice and help on immigration matters and visa applications.
Thank You TMC Solicitors for all your help and support,would most definitely highly recommend you for your outstanding services.
Very helpful staff.
brilliant staff, top class service, thanks again
I needed advice and I got a top class service
