You generally have to get sponsorship from the company that you will be working for.  Visas are usually given for 1 year but can be longer.  You can travel there without a visa and be allowed to stay for 3 months.  During that time you are not allowed to be employed.  The link will take you to the website for the application process for all types of visas for the UK.

Of course you can !\n\nThis site isn't only for the U.S.\n\nWhere are you from ?

If you have UK citizenship or a valid work visa, and the required qualifications, the answer is yes. \n\nIf you do not it would depend on where you live, your nationality and a lot of other things.  Contract your local British Embassy for further details.

companies might be interested in you if you have some skills, look at the area you want to work in and contact those companies which have an office both where you are and in the UK

I work for Emirates and you could work 3-4 days on up to 10hrs a day, don't forget time differences can whack it out of you. But what you will see of the world will be well worth it. GOOD LUCK and ENJOY

Assuming that you are working in USA, I suggest you go to the US Dep. of Labor site. They provide detailed information on the subject.

OK you need to answer the following questions and being able to stay in the UK will depend on your circumstances.\n\n1. What visa did you come into the UK on? i.e. if you have a tourist visa this is non transferable and can't be extended normally so you would need to leave the UK and re-enter on a different visa classification.\n\n2. do you intend to work in the UK? If so you will need to find a sponser (thats an employer) who is prepared to wait for you while you sort out your immigration status.\n\n3. Are you in a relationship with a UK national this could also help your circumstances?\n\n4. I recommend you go to this website. www.visaworkpermits.co.uk\n\nthanks \n\n\nmgi1975

The best way round it is to either:-\n1. Form a company in her own country and then register it in the UK as "a foreign company trading in the United Kingdom"\n\nor\n\n2. form a non-limited business (called a proprietorship)\n\nHowever, as she is a foreign student, she should check that she has the necessary work permits. If she hasn't then any sort of work in the UK (including under 1 and 2 above) is illegal.

i am canadian. i came to england in sept/71. the home office told me then i did not require a work permit because canada is a member of the British Commonweath. you might like to contact the home office and check that out, they may have changed the rules.

I worked for a UK company that does mytery shopping for a number of hihg-street names (inclusing shops, pubs, banks and others). It's not a bad job, but the pay's not guaranteed, you might get 10 jobs one week and none the next. If you're asked to buy something, you'll usually get paid for it and you might get to keep it. To be good at the job you'll have to be good at lying (a lot of scenarios involve pretending to be a particular type of customer) and you'll need a good memory as you'll have a long questionnaire to fill out after the visit.

There are a lot of places on-line you can apply. I'm not sure what sites there are in the UK. But apply to them all. Thats what I did.

Yes it may be possible. If your an EEA national and have resided in the UK for 5 years and can prove this and have been working and not claiming any public funds, then after 5 years, you may apply for "indefinate leave to remain in the UK". After this has been issued to you, after a year you may apply to take a Enlish test and Life in the UK. If you suceed in this test, then you will be eligible to apply for British citizenship.

I'm American and live in England, but only because my wife is English. As for you being able to settle in the United Kingdom through an Indefinte Leave to Remain visa, well, the simple answer is that it is not possible because the Home Office does not consider you having any right to living in the United Kingdom. \n\nThe only options for a non-national moving to the UK permanently would be through fiance/fiancee, marriage, ancestry, or a work visa setup by a possible UK employer.

I think you will enjoy your stint in the UK. The weather is quite wet but not in a torrential way - the climate is rather soft and pleasant. You can enjoy day-trips to London, Bristol, Wales and even travel up to Scotland. There's plenty to soak up in sight-seeing and culture immersion. Happy for you!

You'd do a trial run in US of course, but make sure that you're prepared. Have enough support (financially, and having a backup person) to get you through your stay here. Before you cross the pond, research on your trade in US cities to get an idea on where it is more in demand, how much they pay, if you'd need US certifications, companies that might sponsor you etc. etc.\nYou're still young, invest your time in education, trade that will make you a "Catch", and not the other way around. Good luck!!

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.

I am amazed at the reaction of most people in the UK when it comes to foreigners.  If it wasn't for all the lazy gitts that don't want to work unless they are paid a fortune, there wouldn't be opportunities for foreigners to work here!\n\nThere's one based n Mayfair in London, the company is called Breytenbachs and their number is 02074993111.\n\nThey specialise in immigration and nationality.\n\nI hope you get your problem sorted out and that you become a contributing member of the UK workforce. Good luck!
