Visa support!
The team at Newfields were so helpful and knowledgeable regarding my visa application for the UK. Finna was awesome to work with; both her and Glyn are so quick to respond to emails, and I just felt like they were very supportive throughout the entire process.

We are extremely grateful for their help.
My experience with Glyn and Emily has been outstanding. My wife and I were navigating a highly complex visa situation involving both UK and US requirements, complicated further by DBS security checks and tight timeframes. Throughout the process, Glyn and Emily were incredibly responsive, even at odd hours and consistently provided clear guidance and reassurance. Their expertise and proactive support made a stressful situation management. I would highly recommend them to anyone applying for visas in the UK, especially those in the sports industry. The logistics can be incredibly complex when dealing with international travel, family considerations, and multiple visa applications - and Glyn and Emily handled it all with the highest levels of professionalistm and care.
