As the world of UK immigration law is continuously evolving, with new immigration routes, new guidance and new rules being implemented regularly by the Home Office, it is essential to keep up-to-date with the latest immigration news and announcements.
We aim to report on the majority of these changes via our blogs. We also often post overviews of the various immigration routes and discuss requirements within the different visa categories.
So what have we been talking about this week?
How do I obtain a UK passport urgently?
Posted 10 May 2021.
HM Passport Office have now re-instated the Fast-track options for passport renewals and replacement applications. This service was temporarily suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and this re-opening will be a relief to many applicants who require their passport for urgent travel.
The Fast-track service is also available for children applying for their first British passport, so long as the relevant requirements are met. We discuss here the eligibility factors and outline the Fast-track options available.
