This is guidance, not legal advice. VisaExplain is not a law firm and is not regulated to give immigration advice. This tool applies published Immigration Rules to the answers you give and shows you the rule behind each result. It is general information — it is not a decision on your case, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified adviser.
Rules change, and your circumstances may include facts this tool does not ask about. Always check the official GOV.UK guidance, and take advice before you act. VisaExplain accepts no liability for any loss arising from reliance on this tool.
