Work Permit​

It is one of the most popular immigration destinations in the world for those who want to live and work in a new country as well as establish a new life there after they have arrived. In many situations, you will be required to apply through the United Kingdom's tier points-based visa system, which evaluates applicants against a variety of factors in order to determine their eligibility for a work or study visa in the United Kingdom. The skilled migrant visa is intended for 'skilled workers' from outside the European Economic Area who have been offered a position in the United Kingdom by a Tier 2 Sponsor. This visa also applies to skilled workers whose occupations are listed on the shortage occupations list of the United Kingdom, such as registered nurses.
