About this service

Our Global Mobility Services

The Global Mobility route promises to provide a new streamlined immigration route allowing overseas entities greater flexibility in transferring migrant workers to the UK to establish and expand their businesses.

Via this new route, there is the possibility of greater flexibility being introduced for businesses to establish their offices in the UK or continuing their business relationships with their clients and suppliers in the country.

Clients benefit from a top class service at a fixed fee, meaning that all of our prices are transparent and upfront, helping your company budget accordingly for the legal fees.

After 5 years, applicants can apply for settlement.

Allows you to bring dependents under the age of 18, and spouse or partner to the UK.

Dependents under the age of 18 entitled to free UK education.

I would definitely recommend Westkin to anyone needing an immigration lawyer. I was told that my case was highly unlikely to be granted. With the help of Westkin, my whole process of visa preparation, application and result was finished successfully and quickly. They were well informed, smart, helpful and kind.
