Our Manchester office
Our office is at Suite 6, 61 Mosley Street, Manchester M2 3HZ, a few minutes’ walk from Piccadilly Gardens and St Peter’s Square. We’ve worked from Manchester since 2008, helping individuals, families and employers across the North West.
Please call or email before you visit so an adviser is free to see you. You can bring your documents in, and we’ll go through them with you there and then. If it’s easier, most cases can be handled entirely by phone, video call and email.
UK immigration help for Manchester clients
Most of our Manchester clients come to us for:
- Spouse and partner visas, including first applications and extensions
- Skilled Worker visas for people taking a job in the UK
- Indefinite Leave to Remain and British citizenship
- Student visas and visit visas for family members
We tell you honestly whether you qualify before you pay, agree our fee in writing, and check every document against the current rules before anything is submitted.
Your biometrics appointment
For most applications made inside the UK, you book an appointment at a UK Visa and Citizenship Application Service (UKVCAS) point after applying online, to give your fingerprints and photo and have your documents checked. Greater Manchester is served by a main service point, so most of our clients don’t need to travel far.
We tell you which appointment to book, and make sure your documents are ready and in the right order before you go. Many routes now let you prove your identity with the UK Immigration: ID Check app instead, and we’ll tell you if that applies to you.
Chinese visas from Manchester
The Chinese Visa Application Service Centre in Manchester moved to Ground Floor, 7 Charlotte Street, Manchester M1 4DZ in October 2026. It handles applications from across the North of England.
British passport holders can currently visit China without a visa for up to 30 days, until 31 December 2026. Longer stays, and work, study and many business trips, still need a visa. We prepare your online application and documents, and our office is a short walk from the centre. See our China visa service, China business visa and China work visa pages.
Employers in Manchester and the North West
We help Manchester businesses hire from overseas, from first sponsor licence applications to keeping on top of sponsor duties and compliance. We regularly work with care homes, restaurants, IT and technology firms and construction companies.
We can meet you at our office or come to your premises in Greater Manchester.
Travel visas and document legalisation
Travelling from Manchester? We handle visas and eVisas for countries worldwide, including India, Saudi Arabia, the USA and Schengen countries. We also arrange apostilles and embassy legalisation for degree certificates, police checks and company documents. You can drop documents at our office instead of posting them.
