In order to work in the UK, you will require a UK Working Visa or Work Permit if your country of origin is outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). The application process for a UK visa can be either complex or relatively straightforward depending on your individual circumstances and the nature of your application.

A Work Permit is usually needed for workers who are coming to the UK as a result of having already secured a formal offer of work from an eligible UK company with the relevant License to sponsor, or if you are being relocated to the UK by your current employer. Alternatively, if you have a skill that is deemed as being in short supply in the UK by the Government, then you may be eligible for a visa to come on the basis that jobs in your sector would be widely available for you to secure.

There are many different types of Work Visa that can allow you to successfully take up work in the UK. The type of UK Work Permit or Work Visa which is best for you will depend on a variety of factors such as your profession, the demand for your chosen role and the length of time you wish to spend working in the UK.
