Work Permits - UK work permit advice & services

To work in the UK you must have the relevant work permit. This type of visa will not be granted to you directly; you will require a UK based ‘employer’ to sponsor the work permit before you are granted your official work permit visa.

Many overseas non-Europeans require this visa, and you must have this visa endorsed on your passport before starting work with the employer.

Do's and Don'ts

Do's:

• Always ask the UK employer questions relating to the position on offer;
• Make sure you understand what salary you will be paid after taxes;
• Make sure you have the relevant experience for the position;
• Ensure that you have all your relevant qualifications and work experience letters;
• Book an appointment with our Work Permit Expert Lawyer before the employer decides to sponsor you;
• Read further information on work permit requirements on www.workingintheuk.gov.uk

Don't s:

• Do not work for the employer unless the work permit is endorsed on your passport;
• Avoid promises from employers that they will sponsor you if you start work sooner;
• If you are Visiting the UK, you must leave the UK before being sponsored on a work permit. There is no exception to this rule;
• Do not accept employment without the right immigration status on your passport;
• If you are on a Student Visa in the UK, you must have graduated at a degree level before ‘switching’ to work within the UK.
