Work Permits for Scotland
First Permit Limited is one of the few
specialist immigration advisers active in Scotland. Although
the immigration rules and procedures for Scotland are broadly
the same as for the rest of the UK, there are differences and
changes are to be made to make the system different to the rest
of the UK.
The Scottish Executive (which is the devolved
government for Scotland) has identified that Scotland is likely
to suffer a greater loss of skilled workers in the next few
years as a result of the anticipated decline in population and
an increase in the age profile of the population.
The Scottish Executive has launched a
Fresh Talent initiative to encourage skilled individuals from
elsewhere in the UK or from abroad to come to work and live
in Scotland.
