Private Life Visa

About Private Life Visa

The private life route allows certain people to apply for leave to remain in the UK based on the life they have built here, rather than on family ties or work. It can apply to children who have lived here for a substantial part of their lives, young adults who grew up in the UK, and adults with very significant obstacles to integration in their country of origin. RakLAW assesses which limb of the rules fits your circumstances and prepares a clear, evidenced application.

Who this is for

  • Children who have spent most of their lives here
  • Young adults who grew up in the UK
  • Long-resident adults with deep ties to the UK
  • People who would face very significant obstacles abroad

How RakLAW helps

  • Detailed eligibility check against each private life limb
  • Evidence of residence, integration and obstacles abroad
  • Application drafted to the relevant rule and Article 8
  • Appeals and fresh submissions if refused
