Annual Advice Packages

​

We offer 5 and 10 hour annual advice packages, which cover all immigration-related enquiries. 
 

The packages run for a rolling calendar year.
 

Contact would normally be by email. This is to avoid the risk of misunderstanding either the questions being asked, or the advice being given, especially where this advice is being passed to a third party.  
 

Veristat will respond by email within 48 hours (Monday to Friday), although in most cases we will respond on the same day. We can also schedule a call or chat over Microsoft Teams if required. We are also happy to discuss matters over the telephone if urgent. 
 

Any advice provided to the client will comply with the Home Office (UKVI) requirements and guidance at the time of the enquiry. 
 

Enquiries are charged at a minimum of 15 minutes per enquiry. If the question/work is likely to exceed this, where possible, we will let you know this at the outset. Veristat will monitor the usage of this package and will contact the client either at the end of the 12-month period (or sooner, when there is no time remaining) to check whether they wish to enter into another agreement for another year.  

 

Ad-hoc queries / consultations
 

We appreciate that often clients may just have a one-off immigration-related query or issue they wish to discuss with a qualified advisor. Therefore, we are happy to offer ad-hoc quotes and advice. 

If you have an query or a requirement for a particular isolated piece of work, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us for a quote or to discuss how we might be able to support you. 

 

To discuss further or to obtain a quote on any of the above, please email us at enquiries@veristat.co.uk.
