UK Work Permit Information

If a prospective employee is not otherwise exempt from the need for an immigration clearance to work in the UK then it will be necessary to apply for a work permit.

The ability to obtain a work permit is measured against a number of criteria including:

• whether there is a genuine vacancy for an employee in this country

• whether the skills, qualifications and experience needed to do the job meet specific requirements;

• whether the person is suitably qualified or experienced to do the job on offer and whether there is a need for them to do the job on offer; and

• whether there are suitably qualified or experienced 'resident workers'.

A work permit application is made by the employer to Work Permits UK.

We can complete and submit applications on behalf of employers and/or review draft applications before submission. We also assist on the additional need to require an entry clearance before travel and the requirements for spouse and dependants.
