Go through the numerous jobs advertised in many jobsites for UK.
Many a cases, it’s often left to interpretations becuase they do not specify them clearly.
Some jobs will specify applicants 'must be eligible to work in the UK' which could be interpreted as :
- you are a current work permit holder, so you could consider yourself as eligible to work when they are ready to apply for a in country work permit transfer application for you.
- You need to be ILR holder or British citizen or the HSNP visa holder to apply for the job
Some jobs specify 'overseas applicants are welcome to apply' means that they are ready to process a work permit application regardless of your current status of immigration. Which means,
- You could be in the UK holding a work permit
- You could be outside UK and they process the permit papers for you in the UK.
( if nothing is specified ( I think 70-80% do not !) they want you to toss a coin before you apply !
Hope this helps.
are there any sites that will show jobs that will provide work permit only?
