OISC Adviser & Solicitor Directory

Directory of OISC-registered advisers and immigration solicitors for referral.

In the UK, only two types of people are legally allowed to give immigration advice: an adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly known as OISC), or a solicitor regulated by the SRA (England & Wales) or the equivalent body in Scotland or Northern Ireland. Anyone else charging for immigration advice is breaking the law.

Immigration advisers (IAA / OISC-regulated)

Search the official register to check if someone is currently authorised, and at what level, before you pay for advice.

Search the IAA Adviser Finder →
Solicitors

If you'd rather use a solicitor (useful for complex cases, appeals, or if things go to court), check they're currently authorised and see any past disciplinary history.

Search the SRA Solicitors Register →

MyJapaUK doesn't vet or recommend individual advisers or solicitors — these link directly to the official regulators so you get an authoritative, up-to-date answer. Never pay anyone for immigration advice who isn't listed on one of these registers.
