About Us

1st 4Immigration Ltd is an OISC-regulated company based in Central London at the prestigious and historic building of The Royal Mint. 

Our office is conveniently located near Tower Hill tube station, close to The City and Canary Wharf.

Our company was founded by Wayne and Natalia Andrews, a British - Russian couple. Natalia is a Managing Director and now holds a dual British and Russian nationality. Her knowledge and experience began with her own immigration and travel experiences and has now grown with many years of successful business with the sister company, Multi Travel Visas Ltd.

Natalia came to the UK in 2003 on a Fiancee visa to marry Wayne, then applied for a Spouse visa, then a Permanent Visa (ILR) and eventually, British Citizenship. After years of travelling, having to apply for visas and also helping friends with visas, Natalia founded a visa company in 2005. It later became Multi Travel Visas Ltd, which is now one of just a few companies in the UK registered with Schengen Embassies in London and assists with French, Portuguese Schengen visas as well as with the visas to Russia, India, Sauid Arabia, China, Iran, Canada and many other countries.

In 2005 Western Daily Press newspaper ran a story about us and a local BBC radio station did the same, having read our story in the above newspaper. One of the major national newspapers, The Mail on Sunday, featured us (under earlier business name) in their Travel section with advice on American visas in 2004, just as the US visas started becoming more and more complicated. We of course kept copies of all papers.

Offering UK visas service seemed a natural further step. Most clients of Multi Travel Visas Ltd are foreign nationals who live or work in the UK, so, naturally, they need UK visas as well. Even now, the majority of our business comes by referral from clients.

Today, 1st 4Immigration Ltd is registered with the UK Home Office to assist with visa applications using Premium service in Croydon. We are authorised by The Office of Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), ref no F200800152. Our expertise is assessed to be at a very respected Level 2.

Our company assists foreign nationals with making applications for UK visas in the UK and from abroad.
