Professional Immigration, Work Permit and Visa Services
Gaining a work permit can be a frustrating and complex process. If
you wish to gain assistance with your immigration requirements you
should seek Professiona Advice and Legal Representation. In the UK
such representation or advice should only be provided by a company
authorised by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner
(OISC), as recommended by the Home Office. Other countries have similar
requirements for ensuring that any advice provided is correct.
We recommend SkillClear

a free initial assessment of your case and advise you of the various
options, along with recommending the best course of action and providing
full representation for your application. SkillClear offer these services

commonwealth office (FCO) offers advice on what you need. Visit their
UK
visas website, a joint home office and FCO unit which runs the
UK’s visa service overseas. You can find out whether you need a UK

Work Permits
There are different options for different nationalities and skills.
There are a number of different types of visas that you can apply
for depending on your individual circumstances including; visitor/tourist,
working holidaymaker, work permit scheme/sponsorship, student, citizenship,
residency/indefinite leave to remain, ancestry, family categories,
marriage, right of abode.
Employers must apply for work permits, not the employee and they must
prove that you are the right person for the job. You must have a job
before arriving in the UK and to stay you must continue to work for
the same employer. For more information visit the Immigration
and Nationality Directorate (IND)’s government work permits web
site.

Directorate and they administer the work permit arrangements on behalf
of the UK government. This site provides information on the Work Permit
arrangements, application forms and guidance on how to apply.
Some companies cannot guarantee that they will be able to obtain a
work permit on your behalf. In such cases, you may want to read up
on the subject by looking at the following websites:
