What do we do?

International Work Permits [IWP] manage applications and immigration solutions on behalf of some of the biggest companies and individuals throughout the Globe.

IWP have been recogised by the UK Border Agency as advisors to prospective migrants applying under the PBS system.


How long does the work permit / Visa process take?

In straightforward UK work permit applications , it can take roughly 2 weeks. For skilled visas this can vary from 4 weeks to 1 year depending on the country and supporting documentation. Ask your consultant on time frames or refer to the below for a very rough estimate based on start to finish.
Tier 1 General / HSMP UK [4-8 weeks] *
Skilled Migration Australia [1-2 years]
Skilled Migration Canada [1-2 years]

* Note: International Work Permits can speed up these applications if the applicant has a UK job offer.


What does "no visa no fee" mean?

In most cases, we offer this service so you get a refund should the case be refused - this is our default policy unless mentioned in writing. This does not include the Government Fees which vary according to the type of visa. Even if the application is refused initially, International Work Permits will appeal the decision free of charge.


Aside from legal fees, are there any other fees I must pay?

Please note that aside from the legal fees for managing your immigration procedure, you must also pay the Government application fees, which vary depending on the visa you choose and the country that you wish to migrate to. The Government fees are non-refundable and are not subject to VAT. Our legal fees incur VAT at 15% if you are resident within the European Union [EU].
