Visa Tide provides news and general information only. It is not immigration advice and it is not legal advice.
No immigration advice
Visa Tide is not a law firm, and neither Visa Tide nor its writers provide immigration advice or services. Visa Tide is not regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner, OISC) or by any legal regulator. Content on this site, in our newsletter and on our social channels is a general summary of public information. It does not take account of your personal circumstances.
Check official sources and get regulated advice
Immigration rules, fees and processes change often and the details matter. Before you make any decision or application, please:
- check the current rules and guidance on GOV.UK (Visas and immigration);
- if you need advice about your own case, use an adviser regulated by the IAA or a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You can use the GOV.UK adviser finder or the IAA Adviser Register to check an adviser is authorised;
- be cautious of anyone who is not regulated. You cannot get your money back from an unregulated adviser.
Accuracy
We aim to be accurate and to link to official sources, but we cannot guarantee that every article is complete, current or free from error. Articles reflect the information available on the date they were published, and some may be out of date by the time you read them. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.
No liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Visa Tide and its owner accept no liability for any loss, damage, refusal, delay or other consequence arising from decisions you make, or actions you take or do not take, based on content on this site or in our emails. Nothing in this disclaimer limits any liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Links and third parties
We link to official and third-party websites for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content. Any sponsor or advertiser is clearly labelled, and being a sponsor does not mean Visa Tide endorses its services.
