My name is Alexander Agri, and for the past 12 years I’ve been a concert promoter and tour manager. During this time, I’ve handled a huge number of visas for the artists I work with — tourist, cultural, business, and work visas. I’ve helped Australians get visas to Russia, Russians to New Zealand, Belarusians to Chile, Ukrainians to Indonesia, and so on.

You can check out the list of artists I’ve worked with in my Instagram feed.

In addition, my degree is in programming, and I worked in various companies for 5 years. So if you’re considering applying for Global Talent through IT, I understand and work with this industry as well.

In my free time, I travel — at the time of writing this post, I’ve visited 50 countries. Most of them required a visa.

I’ve accumulated a wealth of experience, and I believe it’s time to share it with others!

In 2022, I applied for a Global Talent visa for myself and moved to London. I also helped friends with their applications and wrote step-by-step guides that my followers successfully used to obtain the same visa.

In May 2025, I received the "settled" status (ILR) in the UK — one of the hardest documents to get was approved for me in just 2 hours, before I even managed to get home from the visa center. Next stop — a British passport!

I’m well acquainted with UK legislation and understand how the logic of their immigration system works.

I am not a lawyer licensed in the UK. My main background is as a concert promoter and tour manager.

To be honest, I’m not even sure why a person would really need a lawyer — especially how such a lawyer would actually be better than me.

Immigration requirements in the UK are public information. I’ve read all of them, and I keep track of every new law, since they affect my life just as much as they will affect yours.

In any case, you’ll have to prepare your portfolio yourself — no lawyer can possibly know all your projects and achievements from the internet.

Depending on the complexity of the application and the number of people included (spouses, children), UK firms will charge £1,500 – £6,000.

In reality, what you’re paying for is someone to format your documents nicely and submit them through the government portal — which, as you’ve probably guessed, is also public.

The only thing lawyers have that I (for now) don’t is statistics. But those aren’t of much use — everything depends on the quality of the application itself and the particular government officer reviewing it. The same case (especially if prepared poorly), submitted at different times and reviewed by different immigration officers, can have different outcomes.

BOTTOM LINE: You can get your visa yourself using official materials or my article. You can work with me. Or you can hire a licensed lawyer. The choice is yours!

At the core of everything is mutual respect for each other’s time and finances.

First, we’ll do an introductory 15-minute call to get acquainted and discuss your situation in general.

After that, in most cases, the “external mentorship” format works best — you gather your documents, prepare your questions, and then we have a 1-hour call where we go through everything in detail. I’ll give you homework to continue working on until you’ve collected enough new questions for another 1-hour session. These are paid consultations.

With this approach, the entire application process can often fit within 1 to 5 one-hour blocks. You save money, while also respecting my time by not pulling me in for small things at all hours of the day and night.

Of course, if this format doesn’t fit you, we can agree on any other!

No one can guarantee a positive outcome.

Everything depends on the quality of the application, how well it meets the official requirements, and the mood of the government officer who happens to review it that day.

There can be no contact between the applicant and the caseworker — this is a fundamental part of the UK government’s anti-corruption mechanisms.

I have no way of knowing whether you’re reading this post on the day it was published or several years later.

Contact me using the details below, and I’ll give you a general price range.
During the introductory call, we’ll discuss the format of work, and the amount will be finalized.
