We have three immigration advice lines. You may not be eligible for all of them so please check the criteria before calling.

Calls are charged at local rates. Please note that calls made outside the opening hours will not be answered but will still be charged when connecting to our voicemail service. Our voicemail service will inform you about our service’s opening hours but does not accept messages.
