About us

The Immigration Advisers Authority was set up in May 2008 to regulate immigration advice both nationally and internationally.

It is responsible for:

• overseeing the licensing of immigration advisers.
• receiving complaints about licensed and unlicensed immigration advisers.
• investigating and taking action against those breaching immigration advice law.
• maintaining a register of licensed immigration advisers.
• dealing with complaints against Authority staff.
• developing and maintaining competency standards and the code of conduct for immigration advisers.
• facilitating the education and development of immigration advisers.
• facilitating public awareness of matters relating to the provision of immigration advice.

Under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 anyone giving immigration advice must have a licence unless they are an exempt person. Exempt people include lawyers and those working at Citizens’ Advice Bureaus among others.
