If you decide to go with a law firm they will be the most expensive type of visa UK help that you can get. The reason is because they have large overheads to pay for like a flashy office and a lot of staffs wages to pay. They will often employ people who require high fees to carry out relatively easy work. This can really bump up the fee and cost you a lot of money. The question that you have to ask yourself when applying for your visa UK is do you will need to pay for someone that highly skilled to make your application on your behalf?
In most cases you don’t because your application is straight forward and all you need is assistance when filling out the online form and also writing the letters in English.
In most cases using a normal visa UK agent will be enough as they will tell you what you need and be able to process all the information for you. This means you cut out the expensive lawyers that you don’t need. These agents can cost around 3000 baht to employ and they will tell you the best way you can make your application.
It is important that you choose a company with a good reputation and that they have a website that has all the correct details on it. You should be able to speak to them over the phone and also meet them and speak to them in person. Most will be able to advice you on the best way to present your information and make sure that all your supporting documents are correct.
When applying don’t forget that the agent’s fees do not include the UK border fees and these are extra on top. You should budget at least 8000 Thai baht for your application and this should be enough to cover the costs of the agent fees and also the application fees. With this in mind it is important to see a few companies and find one that suits you the most.
