Work Permits and Visas
One of the first things you will need to consider when planning a move to the UK, is whether or not you will have the right to work. For those of us that don't hold a British or EU passport, it will mean having to apply for a visa to work in the UK.
The visa categories and qualifying criteria are constantly under review in the UK, so it's always best to seek up to date information from the links provided before making your decision. Here are the most common routes:
If you hold an Australian or New Zealand Passport, are under the age of 31 at the time of application, and you have not previously held a Working Holiday Maker Visa in the past, you will qualify for the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa! Find out more »
You do not need a job offer to apply under the highly skilled worker category. The Tier 1 general visa is a points based assessment, points are awarded for what are called "Attributes", for which you need to score a minimum of 75 points. Find out more »
