Visa Tide is an independent news and information publication covering UK visa and immigration changes. We write for migrants, families and employers who want to keep up with what is changing, in plain English.
What we do
- Report on changes to UK immigration rules, fees, guidance and processing, with links to the official source.
- Explain what a change means in general terms, and who it is likely to affect.
- Send a free weekly newsletter that summarises the most important news of the week.
What we are not
Visa Tide is not a law firm and not an immigration adviser. We do not give immigration advice, we do not represent anyone, and we cannot assess or comment on your personal case. Nothing we publish should be treated as advice. Please read our Disclaimer before relying on anything on this site.
Where our information comes from
We rely on official sources first, mainly GOV.UK, Home Office and UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) announcements, the Immigration Rules and Parliament. We link to the source wherever we can so you can check it yourself. Immigration rules change often, so always confirm the current position on GOV.UK before you act.
Who runs Visa Tide
Visa Tide is run by Akwesi Sarfo, trading as Visa Tide.
