Overview

Our solicitors, based in Preston, UK, offer expert legal guidance for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens seeking to visit or move to the UK. Following Brexit, the UK introduced new visa requirements for EU, EEA, and Swiss nationals, which differ depending on the purpose and duration of stay. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate these requirements effectively and achieve a successful application.

What is a Visa for EU, EEA, and Swiss Citizens?

Post-Brexit, EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens now require a visa to enter the UK for purposes beyond tourism or short visits. The type of visa required will depend on the nature and length of your stay, whether for work, study, or family reunion. Our services cover various visa categories for EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens.

Basic Criteria

  • Purpose of Visit: You must clearly state the purpose of your visit or stay, whether it is for work, study, family reunion, or other reasons.
  • Financial Requirement: You may need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay and to cover the costs of your return journey.
  • Accommodation: Evidence of where you will be staying during your time in the UK.
  • Health Insurance: Proof of adequate health insurance coverage may be required, depending on the visa type.

FAQs

Yes, EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens need a visa for visits beyond 6 months or for specific purposes such as work or study. Short visits for tourism may still be allowed without a visa, but longer stays require a visa.
Available visas include work visas, student visas, family reunion visas, and other categories depending on your specific situation and length of stay.
Generally, you cannot switch visa types from within the UK. You may need to return to your home country and apply for the appropriate long-term visa from there.
You must apply for an extension or a different type of visa before your current visa expires. Overstaying your visa can lead to legal consequences and affect future applications.
