As UK Recruiters, we are often asked for information on how candidates can get Work Permits / Visas for the UK.    Many people wish to live and work in the UK, however, many are confused as to what the requirements are that they need to meet and more importantly, how they go about applying for a UK visa or work permit.

 

Unfortunately, we are not qualified to answer or advise on questions like this.  So instead, we have taken a review of web offerings to provide correct, professional and up-to-date information and advice.

 

So, we looked into this to find some good places for professional and up-to-date information which can advise and help candidates to obtain a UK work permits / visas.

 

We found the following 3 sites most helpful

 

UK Border Agency

The UK Border Agency website is probably one of the best places for someone to go if they wish to apply for a UK work visa. The website is very clear, and easy to use, making the application process as stress-free as possible. Information includes the criteria required for a UK work visa, how to apply and frequently asked questions. For a direct link on how apply for a UK work visa click here.

Work Gateways is another website with links to applying for a UK work visa. This site also has a lot of useful information that will be invaluable to anyone thinking of applying for a UK work visa. For a direct link on the different types of UK work visa’s click here.

 

Visa Bureau

Visa Bureau is great and has a lot of information regarding the requirements of each visa type, and applications forms that can be downloaded and filled out. For a direct link regarding applying for a UK work visa, click here.

 

 

All of the above websites are run either directly or indirectly by the UK Government and should therefore be up-to-date with the latest news and information regarding immigration and obtaining a UK work visa.
