Hello. Thanks very much for the videos.
I’m a British citizen and I’m planning to bring my Fiance to the Uk. My Fiance is from Italy. For the application she needs to provide A1 English test but we don’t know where in Italy she can have her English test. I would really appreciate it if you could guide me and tell me how and where in Italy to have test or giving me a reliable link to book the English test.
Thanks a lot 🙏
