Before you choose a country
Start from your purpose
Visiting, studying, working and joining family are separate routes everywhere, with separate evidence. Be clear about why you are travelling before comparing countries.
Plan back from your date
Processing times, test bookings, bank statement periods and biometrics appointments all take time. Work backwards from when you need to travel.
Trust the official source
Fees, salary thresholds and money requirements change often. Each destination page links to the government's own guidance, and we check it with you when you apply.
From first question to finished application
Every case makes the same four stops. You always know which one you are at, and what comes next.
