 The
UK has introduced a number of new UK immigration,
naturalization, UK visa, work permit and UK working visa
categories in the last few years. |

The United Kingdom offers a large
selection of Immigration Visas, Residency and work permits, some
of which lead ultimately to Permanent residency (Indefinite
leave to remain), a British Citizenship and a UK Passport.
Thinking about
living, working or studying in UK.
Highly Skilled Migrant Program (HSMP)
One of the most popular ways of settling in the UK is through
the Highly Skilled Migrant Program, quite a new program which
was designed to compete with similar programs in other
countries. This program, which is based on a points system,
enables the Visa holder to enter the UK without a job offer or
sponsorship, and effectively work for any employer in the UK.
Work Permit Visa
If you have a job offer from a UK based employer, you should
apply for a sponsored work permit. You should bear in mind that
this work permit will be valid only for 5 years for this
specific employer only. Living in the UK on such a visa is
counted towards the requirements for permanent residency.
Working Holiday Visa
If you are under 30, and a citizen of a Commonwealth (former
British Empire) country you are probably eligible for a Working
Holiday Visa. Such Visa enables you to legally work in the UK
for 2 years.
Permanent Residency & Citizenship
Once you obtained a HSMP Visa or a Work Permit Visa, you are
eligible to have your spouse and children live in the UK with
you. After several years of legal residency, you would be able
to apply for a UK Citizenship and Passport. |
