UK-based EB-5 investors should also read our dedicated EB-5 Visa Guide for UK Investors for country-specific investment thresholds and application steps.

Achieve a Successful Outcome for Your Immigration Application

Entrepreneurs and Investors

For entrepreneurs like you and other international clients across Southeast Asia, D&A is privileged to provide strategic advice for leveraging global mobility. Receive assistance for obtaining a UK visa that will enable you to form and incorporate your business in the UK.

Many Singaporean applicants who are still in the process of choosing between the United Kingdom and the United States consider the US E2 visa as a suitable option for their business needs. Become better informed when you make this decision with assistance from D&A in comparing your UK and US visa options. See our E-2 Visa Guide for UK Nationals for eligibility, costs, and the London application process.

Innovator Founder Visa

One such option is the new UK Innovator Founder Visa, open to qualified applicants who would otherwise have applied for the UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa which is no longer available. Formerly known as the Innovator Visa, the Innovator Founder Visa may be the right option for you if your goal is to operate a business that

• Is different from other existing businesses
• Has been approved by a recognised body

As the best immigration law firm for relocating to the UK, D&A can provide you with legal assistance such as meeting eligibility requirements and preparing the necessary documentation. You will receive guidance for bringing family members to the UK under the Innovator Founder visa, as well as submitting your visa application from outside the UK.

Work Visas:  Employees and Employers

Many UK employers routinely leverage assistance from D&A for their immigration matters. Our firm provides legal representation for companies of every kind, such as

• Information technology companies
• Yoga studios
• Bioscience research enterprises
• Major financial entities
• Industrial businesses
• Corporate conglomerates

Many of these UK businesses look to D&A for assistance in bringing employees from Singapore and the rest of Southeast Asia to their UK branch. Our firm facilitates intra company transfer visa application and applications for other employee visas as well as UK visas for business trips and business immigration licences.

If the goal of your UK-based business is to employ migrant workers, you must apply for a sponsor licence, provide the necessary documentation, and pay the fixed fees. You will have to follow the Home Office guidelines for maintaining your licence such as being responsible for the training and compliance of your migrant employees.

Private Clients:  Relocation and Settlement – Immigrant Visas and Non-Immigrant Visas

When you choose D&A to be your UK immigration solicitors, you bring us one step closer to our goal of becoming the top immigration solicitors of choice for all our private clients. You receive all the assistance you need for every step of the immigration process, including visa application, obtaining visa extensions, Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or permanent residence, and naturalisation or achieving British citizenship.

D&A assists clients with obtaining adult dependant visas, a spouse visa, and a biometric residence permit for ILR applicants which enables them to prove their immigration status as a settled person. Even so, many clients consider obtaining British passports for all their family members as the final step of our collaborative immigration process.

“Immigrant Visa” vs “Non-Immigrant Visa”

While the ILR is commonly referred to as an “immigrant visa”, other UK visas are therefore considered “non-immigrant” such as a student visa or a visa for tourism, a short stay, or business.

Note that there are other paths to permanent residency in the UK apart from the ILR including the EU Settlement Scheme, living in the UK as a stateless person, or obtaining British citizenship.

Why Davies & Associates (D&A) in Singapore?

• D&A is the only global immigration law firm with a UK lawyer resident in Singapore.
• Our UK-based team of immigration lawyers keeps us up to date with UK Home Office policies and procedures and the ever-changing landscape of UK immigration law.
• Our lawyers in Singapore work with our immigration lawyers in the UK and multiple countries to implement the most effective and cost-effective immigration plans and strategies for you.  
• As your immigration lawyers, we pride ourselves on assisting clients who have been told that their UK visas were “impossible”.

Our UK Immigration Track Record

Simply stated, as of January 1st, 2025, our firm has never had a UK visa application of any kind denied.

Be it a spouse visa application, applications for adult dependant visas, or visas for high net worth individuals, D&A has always achieved a positive outcome for clients like you. Our firm has a 100% success rate for “rescuing” UK immigration cases handled by other UK immigration lawyers that have resulted in a denied visa application or other problems.

If you have attempted to relocate to the United Kingdom with other UK immigration solicitors before, and are now in need of a good immigration lawyer, D&A can help you with applying for an administrative review. Your application for an administrative review must be based on a decision from the Home Office that was caused by errors described in UK immigration rules.

Grenada CBI and Visa-Free Access to the UK

As an alternative method of entering the United Kingdom, our firm can also assist you with the Grenada Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme. D&A is the only major law firm in Singapore with an international license to offer the Grenada CBI programme as a way to immigrate to the UK without a visa.

Grenada is an island country in the Caribbean about 160 km north of Trinidad and the mainland of South America. First colonised by the French, the country came under British rule in 1763 until its independence in 1974.

With a Grenadian passport, you become eligible for visa-free access to the UK, making the Grenada CBI programme popular among citizens of countries that require a visa to gain entry into the United Kingdom.

According to programme rules, applicants who have had their UK visas refused or denied are ineligible for naturalisation as a Grenadian citizen. To ensure your eligibility, you can obtain a UK visa before you apply for Grenadian citizenship. At the time of writing, D&A has been successful in obtaining visa approvals for previously denied applicants in every single case.

Extensive Immigration Experience

In trusting us with your UK visa application, you will be working with a highly experienced Singapore-based team of immigration lawyers. Each immigration specialist on our team leverages our firm’s collective experience not just in UK immigration, but also in US immigration law, Italian immigration law, Turkish immigration law, and the Grenadian CBI programme.

You will also be working with alumni from some of the world’s most prestigious law schools and law firms, each of whom is a good immigration lawyer considered one of the best in their respective fields. Rest assured you will receive the best legal advice and immigration solutions to guide you during your visa application process.
