We pride ourselves on our specialisation in Business and Personal Immigration, offering expert guidance and support to navigate the complexities of immigration law.

Key Service we offer to businesses and corporates:

  • Sponsor Licence:

A Sponsor Licence is required by UK employers or educational institutions who wish to sponsor foreign nationals, including international students or skilled workers, to come to the UK. With a valid sponsor licence, organizations can issue Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to students or Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to employees. Tide Immigration provides expert guidance on obtaining and maintaining a UK Sponsor Licence, ensuring full compliance with Home Office regulations.

  • Sponsor Licence Compliance Audit:

A Sponsor Licence Compliance Audit is an official review conducted to ensure that an organization holding a UK Sponsor Licence is meeting all Home Office requirements. This includes maintaining accurate records, monitoring sponsored individuals, and reporting any changes promptly. At Tide Immigration, we help educational institutions and employers prepare for these audits by reviewing internal systems, identifying compliance gaps, and providing tailored recommendations to avoid penalties or licence suspension.

  • Pre-Sponsor Licence Compliance:

Pre-Sponsor Licence Compliance involves reviewing an organisation’s systems and processes before applying for a UK Sponsor Licence to ensure they meet Home Office standards. This proactive step helps identify and fix any weaknesses in HR, record-keeping, and reporting practices. At Tide Immigration, we offer tailored pre-licence compliance checks to help businesses and educational institutions strengthen their readiness and improve their chances of a successful licence application.

  • Home Office Interview Training:

Home Office Interview Training is designed to help visa applicants prepare for credibility interviews conducted by the UK Home Office. These interviews assess whether applicants are genuine students or workers and understand their chosen course, institution, funding, and future plans. At Tide Immigration, we provide one-on-one mock interviews and expert coaching to help you answer confidently and clearly, increasing your chances of visa approval.

  • Suspension and revocation of a Sponsor Licence:

Suspension and revocation of a Sponsor Licence occur when the Home Office finds that a sponsoring organisation has breached compliance duties or failed to meet immigration rules. Suspension may temporarily prevent the organisation from sponsoring new applicants, while revocation permanently removes the licence. At Tide Immigration, we provide expert legal support to help institutions and employers respond to compliance issues, challenge unfair decisions, and take corrective actions to protect their sponsorship status.

  • Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS):

A Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is a crucial document that UK employers must assign to foreign workers they wish to sponsor under the Skilled Worker or other visa routes. There are two types: Defined CoS for overseas applicants and Undefined CoS for those already in the UK. At Tide Immigration, we assist licensed sponsors with accurate and timely CoS applications, ensuring compliance with Home Office guidelines and helping businesses hire international talent efficiently.

  • Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) refusal:

A Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) refusal can disrupt hiring plans and delay visa applications. If the Home Office refuses a CoS request, it’s essential to understand the reasons and respond appropriately. At Tide Immigration, we offer expert advice on challenging CoS refusals, whether through administrative review, appeal, or by correcting and resubmitting the application. Our legal team works to protect your sponsorship rights and ensure your business remains compliant and operational.

  • Delays in Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) applications:

Delays in Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) applications can cause significant setbacks in hiring international staff or supporting visa applications. These delays may arise due to incomplete documentation, compliance issues, or Home Office backlogs. At Tide Immigration, we help employers and sponsors navigate such delays by identifying the cause, communicating with the Home Office when necessary, and ensuring all CoS applications are accurate and fully compliant to avoid unnecessary hold-ups.

  • SMS (Sponsor Management System) management:

SMS (Sponsor Management System) management is essential for maintaining your UK Sponsor Licence. It involves keeping sponsor records up to date, reporting changes such as employee start dates or visa status, and managing Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS). Proper use of the SMS is a key Home Office requirement. At Tide Immigration, we provide expert SMS management services, ensuring your records are compliant, accurate, and submitted on time to reduce the risk of licence suspension or revocation.

  • SMS Level 1 User Training:

SMS Level 1 User Training is designed to equip designated staff with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively operate the UK Home Office’s Sponsor Management System (SMS). A Level 1 user is responsible for key tasks such as assigning Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS), updating sponsor details, and reporting changes to migrant status. At Tide Immigration, we offer tailored training sessions that ensure Level 1 users understand their responsibilities, maintain compliance, and confidently manage the sponsor licence obligations.

  • Advising the employers on sponsorship and record keeping duties:

Employers holding a UK Sponsor Licence have strict sponsorship and record-keeping duties set by the Home Office. These include maintaining accurate records of sponsored workers, tracking absences, reporting job or salary changes, and ensuring visa conditions are met. At Tide Immigration, we provide expert advice to employers on how to meet these responsibilities, implement compliant HR systems, and avoid the risks of licence suspension or revocation through proactive guidance and ongoing support.

  • Advising on TUPE and Sponsor licence in case of mergers and takeovers:

In cases of mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers, employers must carefully manage their Sponsor Licence obligations to remain compliant with UK immigration law. Under TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment) regulations, sponsored workers may transfer to a new employer, but the Home Office must be properly notified, and sponsor records must be updated promptly. At Tide Immigration, we provide expert advice on handling these complex transitions, including reporting duties, licence transfers, and maintaining sponsorship continuity to avoid disruption to your workforce or immigration status.

  • Visa application for employees:

Applying for a UK work visa can be a complex process that requires careful planning and compliance with Home Office regulations. At Tide Immigration, we assist employers and their international staff with employee visa applications, including Skilled Worker visas and other sponsored routes. Our team ensures each application is complete, accurate, and supported by the required documentation—helping your employees secure their visas smoothly and start work without unnecessary delays.

  • Advising sponsor licensee employers on leaves, absence and wages of the migrant workers:

UK sponsor licence holders have strict duties when it comes to managing leaves, absences, and wages of sponsored migrant workers. Employers must accurately record and report long-term absences, unpaid leave, changes in working hours, and any salary adjustments to the Home Office via the Sponsor Management System (SMS). At Tide Immigration, we provide tailored advice to ensure employers remain fully compliant with immigration rules, helping them avoid penalties and maintain their sponsor licence in good standing.

  • Global business mobility (All routes):

The Global Business Mobility (GBM) visa is a UK immigration route designed for overseas businesses looking to establish or support their UK presence. It includes five key subcategories: Senior or Specialist Worker, Graduate Trainee, UK Expansion Worker, Service Supplier, and Secondment Worker. Each route serves different business needs, from transferring senior staff to setting up a UK branch. At Tide Immigration, we advise companies on choosing the right GBM route, meeting sponsorship requirements, and preparing strong visa applications to support smooth and compliant business mobility into the UK.

Key Service we offer to individuals:

If you cannot afford visa or extension fees, a fee waiver application may allow you to apply without cost. We help assess your financial situation and prepare strong supporting evidence to increase your chances of success.

  • Further Leave to Remain (FLR) Applications:

Further Leave to Remain (FLR) allows individuals to extend their stay in the UK when their current visa is due to expire. Whether you’re applying under a family, private life, or human rights route, Tide Immigration ensures your application is timely, well-documented, and meets all Home Office requirements, helping you maintain lawful status in the UK.

  • Seven-Year Child Route Applications:

Children who have lived in the UK for seven continuous years may qualify for leave to remain under the private life route. The application must show it would be unreasonable to expect the child to leave the UK. Tide Immigration helps families prepare strong, child-focused applications that demonstrate deep ties and integration into British life.

  • Ten-Year Private Life Route Applications:

The Ten-Year Private Life route offers a pathway to regularise immigration status for individuals who have spent significant time in the UK—especially those who’ve built their lives here. We help applicants prove long residence, community ties, and personal circumstances to meet the Home Office’s strict human rights criteria.

  • Private and Family Life / Human Rights Applications:

If returning to your home country would breach your right to private or family life under Article 8 of the ECHR, you may be eligible to apply to stay in the UK.

  • Adult Dependant Relative Visa:

Tide Immigration offers expert representation in preparing strong bail applications and representing clients at bail hearings, ensuring that all conditions and legal arguments are properly presented to the tribunal or Home Office.

  • Pre-Action Protocol:

The Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) is a formal legal step before initiating Judicial Review. It gives the Home Office a chance to reconsider unlawful or unreasonable decisions without court intervention. At Tide Immigration, we draft persuasive PAP letters to challenge visa refusals, delays, or removals, often resolving cases efficiently without the need for full litigation.

  • Administrative Review:

If your visa or immigration application has been refused due to a legal or factual error, you may be eligible for Administrative Review. This process allows the Home Office to reassess its own decision. We identify errors in decision-making and submit detailed representations on your behalf to secure a fair outcome.

An immigration appeal allows you to challenge certain Home Office refusals through the First-tier Tribunal. Whether it’s a family visa, human rights, or asylum case, Tide Immigration provides expert representation, case preparation, and legal advocacy to give your appeal the best chance of success.

  • Judicial Reviews:

When no other remedy is available, a Judicial Review (JR) can be used to challenge unlawful immigration decisions.

Our experienced legal team prepares and files Judicial Review claims with precision, advocating fiercely for your rights in the High Court.

Frequently Asked Questions for ILR Applications and Tax Amendment Issues

What does it mean if my ILR application is refused due to tax amendments?

An ILR refusal due to tax amendments occurs when the Home Office identifies discrepancies or changes in your tax history that raise concerns about your compliance with UK tax laws. These amendments can imply dishonesty or failure to meet character requirements, resulting in the refusal of your application.

How can tax amendments affect my ILR application?

The Home Office requires applicants for ILR to demonstrate good character, which includes proving full compliance with UK tax laws. Any amendments to your tax returns or discrepancies, such as underreporting income or unpaid taxes, can suggest dishonesty or a lack of compliance, which can negatively impact your ILR application.

Can I apply for ILR if my tax records have been amended or corrected?

Yes, you can still apply for ILR even if your tax records have amendments. However, it’s important to address these discrepancies before applying. If there are concerns about your tax history, it’s essential to work with an immigration solicitor who can help resolve any issues and strengthen your application.

What are the specific ways tax amendments can cause my ILR to be refused?

Tax amendments can raise suspicions about your character and honesty. If you’ve made corrections to your tax returns after initially submitting inaccurate information, the Home Office might see it as an indication of deceit or non-compliance with the law. This could lead to refusal under the “good character” requirement for ILR.

What are my options if my ILR is refused because of tax discrepancies?

If your ILR application is refused due to tax amendments, you can appeal the decision or request an administrative review. It’s essential to consult with an immigration solicitor who can help you address the reasons for the refusal, correct any inaccuracies in your tax records, and provide evidence to demonstrate your compliance with UK laws.

What steps can I take to avoid my ILR being refused due to tax issues?

To avoid an ILR refusal, ensure that your tax records are accurate and up-to-date. If there are any amendments, ensure they are properly documented and explained. Working with an immigration solicitor before submitting your application can help identify and resolve any potential issues related to tax amendments.

How does the Home Office review my tax amendments when I apply for ILR?

The Home Office will examine your tax records and any amendments to ensure there are no inconsistencies or signs of dishonesty. They will assess whether the amendments affect your character assessment and whether you have fully complied with UK tax obligations.

What if I receive a questionnaire from the Home Office asking about my tax history?

If you receive a questionnaire from the Home Office, it’s essential to respond accurately and fully. The Home Office may be investigating inconsistencies in your tax records. An immigration solicitor can assist in preparing a comprehensive response that addresses their concerns and provides clarification to avoid an ILR refusal.

How can Tide Immigration assist if my ILR is at risk because of tax issues?

Tide Immigration has extensive experience in handling ILR applications at risk due to tax amendments. We will thoroughly review your tax history, address any discrepancies, and guide you through the process to ensure your application meets all requirements. Our team can also represent you in dealing with the Home Office if necessary.

What happens if my ILR is refused because of tax amendments?

If your ILR application is refused due to tax amendments, you may lose your ability to stay in the UK, and you could be required to leave the country. However, you have the right to appeal or request an administrative review of the decision. Working with a skilled immigration solicitor can help rectify any issues and improve your chances of a successful appeal or reapplication.
