Work permit procedure

Post by vinny » Thu Jan 10, 2008 4:20 am

Guidance - Work permit holders (INF 13) wrote:How do I apply for a work permit?

You cannot apply directly for a work permit. The employer in the UK who wants to employ you must do this. They should contact Work Permits (UK). (Contact details are under 'More advice and information' at the end of this guidance.)

The employer should send the filled-in application form at least eight weeks before the date they need you to start work.

You don't apply - the company does.

Not to dicourage you, however Like it has been mention by other members, it is highly unlikely that the HO will issue a work permit for this sort of jobs.

The company who need to empoly you are rewuired to do local Labour Market test (advertising in mass media, internet, etc) before they could offer the job. After that the company needs to apply WP for U.

There are abundant of students in the UK who are doing are ready to take this sort of job.

But luck is always there, U could alwaus try your luck if U want.
