Professional Immigration Services in Edinburgh
Westbury Law advises individuals, families and employers connected to Edinburgh on the full range of visa, settlement, and citizenship matters, using exactly the same depth of experience we bring to clients across England.
Speak to an immigration solicitor about your Edinburgh case — consultations from £50 per hour, fixed fees for full applications.
We do not have an office in Edinburgh and given the real distance between Scotland and our existing offices, we think it is more honest to work this way properly rather than suggest an in-person option that would rarely be practical. What that means for you is a lawyer reachable directly by phone or video call, at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends, with all documents handled securely online. We support individuals, families and employers across Edinburgh and the wider Lothian area, including Leith, Musselburgh and Livingston, entirely through remote consultations.

Immigration Services in Edinburgh
Every service below links through to a full breakdown of eligibility, evidence, and timelines.
Spouse Visas
A frequent case type for our Edinburgh clients. We prepare spouse visa applications with close attention to the financial requirement, manage spouse visa extensions well ahead of expiry.
Partner Visas
For couples who are not married, we advise on the unmarried partner visa, which turns on solid evidence of a relationship of at least two years, the fiancé visa for those marrying after arrival and the civil partnership visa for those with an overseas partnership.
Family Visas
We advise on dependent child visas for children joining a parent in the UK, adult dependent relative visas for relatives needing long-term family care and the UK Ancestry Visa for Commonwealth citizens with a UK-born grandparent.
Student Visas
With two major universities in the city, we advise on student visa applications, child student visas and the Graduate Visa for those staying on to work after finishing their studies.
Work Visas
For Edinburgh's financial services, technology, and professional employers, we handle the Skilled Worker Visa process, checking occupation codes and salary thresholds to correctly match the certificate of sponsorship. We also advise on the Global Talent Visa for recognised specialists and the Innovator Founder Visa for founders building a business in the city.
Visitor Visas
We handle UK visitor visa applications, including for relatives visiting during festival season, child visitor visas and student visitor visas for shorter courses.
UK Settlement Visas
For clients who have made Edinburgh home over a number of years, we advise on Indefinite Leave to Remain and progression to British citizenship and naturalisation.
Legal Services
For more difficult cases, we advise on immigration detention matters, bail applications, pre action protocol letters, and appeals and administrative review where a Home Office decision needs to be formally challenged.

Read MoreImmigration Solicitors Edinburgh — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Edinburgh?
No. We support Edinburgh clients entirely through remote consultations by phone and video call, given the distance from our existing offices, and we would rather be upfront about that than suggest an in-person option that would not be practical.
Are UK immigration rules different in Scotland?
No. Immigration law is reserved to the UK Parliament rather than the Scottish Parliament, so the rules, application processes, and Home Office decision-making are the same across Edinburgh as anywhere else in the UK.
What does a consultation cost?
£50 per hour, with a fixed fee agreed upfront for full application support.
Can you help with a visa after finishing a degree in Edinburgh?
Yes. The Graduate Visa is a common next step for our Edinburgh students, and we recommend applying before the existing student visa expires.
Do you cover areas near Edinburgh too?
Yes, including Leith, Musselburgh, Livingston and the wider Lothian area, all through the same remote process.
