American wanting to work in the Uk?

Question

I am an american citizen wishing to work in the UK, I have a boyfriend who is a citizen of England, and i wish to work there so i can be with him. I know i need a sponsor for a working visa, but i have questions, can i just go the UK with my regular visitors visa, and find a job while i am in the UK and go to immigration and have it turned into a working visa? and if not, how come.

Answer 1

you can't come here without a working visa and expect to get one here - otherwise every tourist-immigrant would do the same.

you're also unlikely to be able to easily get one due to rule changes on immigration - you have to have skills that aren't easily available in the uk before you'll get one (as you're outside the european union)

Answer 2

No, you need to provide proof you have the right to work in this country before any legitimate company can offer you a job.  You need to sort a working visa before you go.
