Looking for work?

Question

I have a South African Passport and Portugese and Spanish residents how can I find a job in the UK

Answer 1

Ok, this is the low down...To be able to work in the u.k. u will have to get a residence permit there.In order to do this u would need to go there with your husband(if he is an EU citizen) and settle down, exactly the same as u did when u came to spain.Now if u want to go alone, the only way to be able to find a job there is to get a company to sponsor u...unfortunately the labour laws have changed dramiticall over the last few yrs.The only way a company will sponsor u a work permit is if u fall under the skills shortage list, by that i mean u have a proffession such as a teacher, nurse, etc.

The other way to it is to apply for a highly skilled migrant visa(permit), which means u dont need  a company sponsor but u need to be HIGHLY SKILLED...another way is to aplly for a 2 yr holiday visa, which only applies to people under 30.If u r dead set on working and living the u.k. there is the student visa option, but that limits u to working pàrt time only.

Answer 2

Apply for a job in a British company and when accepted, request for a company sponsorship to work in UK.
