      Frequently Asked Questions

      You must have an invitation to join you in the UK from an organisation or customer in order to apply for a PPE Visa.

      This should be an opportunity to do real paid work for them. Jobs as a performer or a visiting lecturer are examples of this type of work.

      You may apply for a passport via the Home Office, either by mail or online. You'll need proof of the invitation as well as proof that you are capable of completing the work to the client's or organisation's expectations in the UK.

      A Permitted Paid Engagement Visa is a form of short-term visa in the UK. It is a hybrid between a Visitor Visa and a Work Visa in certain respects. The visa requires holders to stay in the UK for up to one month in order to work in their field of expertise.

      Individuals who need to visit the UK to work at an event (for example, as a performer or guest speaker) as well as broadcast journalists can benefit from this path.

      • a student examiner or assessor;
      • a guest-speaker or scholarly panelist;
      • a guest-lecturer (if not part-time or full-time);
      • a pilot study by an expert (as long as they are invited by an organisation regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority)
      • a legal practitioner;
      • a fashion model/designer,
      • and an artist, entertainer, sportsperson, or broadcast journalist.

      The fee for a Permitted Paid Engagement Visa from the UKVI is £93.

      If an applicant needs their offer sooner than the standard three weeks, they can pay a premium fee to get their answer in five working days (£212) or one working day (£956).

      When applying for a Permitted Paid Engagement Visa, you must present the following documents:

      • evidence that you can financially support yourself while in the UK (such as a payroll from the last six months);
      • your passport/travel identification (this must include a blank page for your visa);
      • details on where you expect to stay when in the UK;
      • information on your travel plans (such as where you plan to go after you've visited the UK);
      • a formal invitation for the role you want to fill (from a UK-based client or organisation, and from the individual who will pay you if your application is successful);
      • and evidence that you are eligible to fill the position (such as proof of relevant qualifications or employment).

      If you work in the arts, entertainment, or sports, you would need to provide proof of either of the following:

      • your publications;
      • promotional materials;
      • honors you have received;
      • job reviews;
      • media coverage of your work;
      • evidence of recent performances

      Our solicitors will help you with this form of visa application in a variety of ways:

      • determining your eligibility by looking over your invitation, credentials, and other possible supporting documentation/evidence;
      • assisting you in obtaining additional documents from the appropriate authorities;
      • completing the application forms in a competent and meticulous manner to ensure that they satisfy the Home Office's requirements;
      • contacting UKVI on your behalf;
      • assembling your supporting facts into an application portfolio — this gives immigration officials a comprehensive picture of your case and makes it easier for them to navigate;
