Services we Provide

Using Immigration Services for Fashion Industry Travel

The global fashion industry employs over 75 million people worldwide, and involves huge amounts of regular cross-continental travel. Fashion shows and Fashion Weeks are exhibited internationally, and attract hundreds of thousands of visitors and international media recognition annually.

This means that individuals, large groups and businesses often require tailored immigration services and policy support in order to commit to the high industry demands of global travel.

Participating in the fashion industry, whether to travel for business meetings or to attend fashion shows and fashion week, usually requires specific visas, work permits, and other legal requirements in order to ensure compliance and smooth immigration procedures.

Immigration Requirements

Visas and work permits for the fashion industry tend to fall into a subcategory of work visas, and depending on where you travel to, and depending on the purpose of your trip, will vary from business visa categories to a more specific global talent visa.

Common categories of work associated with the fashion industry are:

Fashion designers and creatives
Global talent and exceptional talent
Media outlets
Fashion specialist fields.

Workers and groups within the fashion industry may require immigration support for:

Short term visit/tourist or business visas
Global Talent visa application
Creative worker visa
Visas for Exceptional Promise criteria
Fashion design endorsement
Endorsement application
For work in the UK, indefinite leave (desire to settle permanently and gain permanent residence)
Other needs in the fashion specialist field

IAS can support you with your travel and immigration needs across the globe. Contact us today by calling +44 (0)333 414 9244, or you can get in touch online.

Our Global Fashion Industry Immigration Services

As fashion industry needs are so diverse, it can be difficult for individual workers as well as large-scale businesses to ensure that they are travelling and working under the correct legal terms. Oftentimes, different countries have very different types of visas and eligibility criteria to meet in order for applicants to successfully travel or move to their destination, and many of those who have industry recognition travel to more than one country on a regular basis.

Saima Jabeen was extremely helpful during my advice session. She gave clear guidance and followed up with a detailed advice letter. Farhine Chowdhury was assigned as my caseworker, and provided me expert support and advice throughout the process. I am pleased to have made use of IAS' services.

I could book a non-urgent appointment within 2 weeks. The person on the phone was very kind to go through multiple available dates with me and finalise the booking for the entire 5-10m. The person on the video-call was knowledgeable, highlighting points that I had overlooked, despite gathering and reflecting on my information for quite a while. I'm still using that advice today.

Laura Christian has been very helpful in giving me advice and the information I needed. Immigration law is very strict and confusing, but this service breaks it down in manageable chunks and hiring them makes the application process a lot smoother and without too much stress.

I would like to thank Mark for taking the time to review my case and provide detailed legal advice. He was professional, respectful and took the time to explain the relevant immigration options and limitations clearly. I would also like to mention that my initial contact with IAS was with Nadeen Taylor. From the beginning, I explained that my main concern was not simply obtaining a Student visa, but finding a possible lawful way to leave Gaza and continue my studies in the UK. I specifically asked whether IAS could assist with this particular aspect of my situation, and I was reassured that this could be looked into. While the advice I ultimately received clarified a number of important points, I had hoped that the specific issue of possible evacuation from Gaza, including whether there might be an exceptional or alternative legal mechanism, could be explored further. Overall, I appreciate Mark’s professionalism and the time he spent considering my circumstances. I am grateful for the assistance provided and for the clarity of the advice I received.

I am incredibly grateful to Clare for all the support and hard work she has given me throughout my asylum case. After everything I have been through, receiving my Visa was an incredibly emotional and unforgettable moment for me. Clare was always patient, supportive and understanding, and she stood by me throughout a very difficult period of my life. I truly appreciate all the time, effort and care she put into my case. Her support meant more to me than I can put into words, and I will never forget her kindness. Thank you so much, Clare, for everything you have done for me. ❤️

Ms Saimah Razzaq assisted me in successfully obtaining my wife's settlement, having helped on her prior visas also. She has always been professional, efficient and helpful in advising exactly what documents and other information is required that she then checks prior to finally submitting the application. She will answer any questions that you you may have, and gives feedback along the way. I can highly recommend Saimah to assist you.

5/5 Stars — Exellant service "I cannot thank Saima Razzaq enough for all her hard work and support throughout our ILR application process. From start to finish she was professional, patient, and kept us updated every step of the way. We faced delays and extra checks due to being self-employed, which made the process longer and more stressful than expected. Saima was there through it all — giving clear advice, helping us chase things up, and guiding us on making formal complaints and claiming a refund when the service took far longer than promised. She fought our corner properly and never gave up. My husband has now had his application approved and we are absolutely over the moon. We couldn’t have got here without Saima’s help. If you need assistance with immigration applications, Saima Razzaq is the person to go to. Thank you so much!"

Working with Abdul on our spouse visa extension has been an absolute pleasure. He’s been incredibly professional and meticulous with our paperwork. He helped us navigate the complex process of visa extension and moved so quickly whenever we needed extra help - even drafting custom letters to prove my right to work and rent while we wait for the decision. His warm, collaborative approach made this process incredibly easy. I can't thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a brilliant immigration lawyer!
