Overview

Compassionate legal guidance when you need stability most

A Bereavement Visa allows you to remain in the UK after the death of a British or settled partner. Yet for many, the process feels complex and impersonal at a time when they are least able to cope. Our solicitors manage every stage for you confirming eligibility, preparing documents, and presenting your case to the Home Office with care and precision.

Why the Right FLR Type Matters More Than You Think

  • Each bereavement case handled by qualified, SRA-regulated solicitors
  • Guidance on switching from a partner or spouse visa after loss
  • Preparation of ILR applications under the bereavement provisions
  • Help for dependants and family members linked to your visa
  • Review of refused or delayed applications
UKIS

Yes. If your partner was a British citizen or settled person, you may qualify for leave to remain or settlement. We review your situation and guide you on the most suitable application route.

We check your immigration history, current visa conditions and proof of relationship to confirm eligibility before any application is made.

Timelines vary, but our solicitors prepare complete, compliant submissions from the start - reducing the risk of delay or refusal.

You’re not alone. We help gather alternative evidence, witness statements or official records to support your claim with care and precision.

Immediately. Once your form is received, a solicitor reviews your case the same day and sets out the next steps with clarity and empathy.

Protect your right to stay - with care, respect and complete discretion

You’ve already faced a loss that can’t be measured. Securing your right to remain in the UK shouldn’t add to that burden. Our solicitors handle every bereavement case with sensitivity and professionalism – guiding you through the process step by step, ensuring your future is safe, stable and legally protected.

Free Case Assessment

Whatever your circumstances, needs or questions, you can reach out to our immigration assessment team for a free initial case review. We will listen carefully, review your current visa status, and identify whether a bereavement or compassionate leave route applies. Under the guidance of a senior immigration solicitor, we will explain exactly what can be done and how the process works. If you decide to instruct us, we’ll take your instructions remotely for complete convenience and transparency.

Initial Consultation — We Listen First

Case Review & Strategy
