I want to move to the uk permenantly?

Question

i was thinking about going for school. what is the process, and once you are there for school can you work? and can you request residency or citizenship once you are there?

Answer 1

How old are you? To apply for a visa you need to be at least 18.

Answer 2

Well depending on your nationality you would need to apply for a student visa. If you are considering staying a long period of time (unless you are a EU citizen) you are going to need a visa. You can get British citizenship after living in the UK for at least 5 years legally.

Try visiting the following websites:

Offical website for the Home Office: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ukresid...

British embassy in the USA: http://www.britainusa.com/visas/showcats...

General website which is just good to navigate around and very helpful: http://www.workpermit.com/uk/uk.htm

Answer 3

Age doesnt matter, the most important thing matters, is ur nationality., EU Citizens are allowed to live in UK for life & can move without restrictions, for other people its not that easy. If u tell us you qualifications & any specific skills you have then may be I can answer ur question more appropriately.

For non-EU citizens there are two routes to permanent stay in UK,

1) Marrige to UK (or EU) citizen.

2) Lawful employment in UK for 5 years.
