Leave to Enter is official permission to enter the UK for a specific purpose, such as work, study, or joining family. It is granted before or at your arrival in the UK.

The duration depends on your visa type — usually matching your visa’s validity, such as 6 months for visitors or 2.5 years for spouse visas.

If refused, we can review your case, identify the issues, and guide you on how to strengthen your application or reapply correctly.
