UK Work Visa

The United Kingdom has the 6th largest economy in the world and has a per capita income above $45000 dollars. The UK is a haven for skilled workers looking to find better opportunities.

Take our assessment and, if you are eligible, we will guide you on how you can with your UK work permit application.

With a UK work permit, you can stay in the UK for 5 years. After that, you need to renew your visa. Also, after 5 years, you can apply to settle permanently in the UK, and apply for benefits if you are eligible. Additionally, if you are changing jobs you then also have to renew your visa.

Alongside work you can study as well on your work permit. Moreover, you can bring your dependents, do voluntary work, travel abroad and return to the UK.

You need to apply for the visa 3 months before the day you are about to start work in the UK. As a part of your application, you need to prove your identity and provide all the documents.

Once you have applied, and provided all the necessary documents, you get a decision on your visa within 3 weeks, if you’re outside the UK.
