The UK industry offers great opportunities for skilled migration from other countries. But youll need to plan ahead before you enter the country. Depending on where you come from, youll need a work permit and possibly a visa to work in the UK.
If youre from the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you can work in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland without a work permit.If youre not from the EEA, you must get a permit to work in the UK.
How to get a work permit?
If youre from a country outside the EEA or Switzerland, youll need to apply under the points-based system (PBS), which manages migration for those wishing to enter the UK for work or study. You must have a job offer from a licensed sponsor and a valid certificate of sponsorship. Permits are usually only given to people with specialist skills or qualifications.
