UK Work Permit & Visa Legislation
The legislation regarding permits for work in the UK is purposefully complex and intricate, and can be an intimidating bureaucratic endeavour.
Whether you are an employer requesting a work permit for an employee who is not a British citizen, or a UK resident applying to work outside the European economic area (EEA), Gray Purdue's team of lawyers are experienced in dealing with all aspects related to the regulations of applying for work permits and visas.
The restrictions and conditions that affect applications are widely varied and diverse, and it is wise to seek professional legal help in order to fully understand the procedure and be able to decipher the complex legal jargon that surrounds the process.
Only employers are permitted to apply for a work permit for a foreign national to become an employee, on the employee's behalf.
Applying for a UK Work Permit
In order to satisfy criteria, the employer must first prove that it is not possible to fill the vacancy with a UK resident worker, unless the position is included in the category of scarcity occupations, for those occupations which are currently suffering from a lack of specialists in the UK, such as pharmacists and other medical professions.
Applying for a UK Visa
Applications are divided into three types of applications, depending on the nature of employment to be undertaken and the circumstances of the worker. There are also further stipulations that apply to certain occupations and situations.
