19 Year old wanting to move

Post by KyleF » Sun May 13, 2012 3:29 am

I am wanting to move from the US to the UK within the next upcoming months. My only issue is that I would not be as a student. In all reality my reasons to move to the UK is simply that I want to see how it is to live in the UK. I will be still attending college work through online school. Though this does not give me the ability to obtain a student Visa.

Will I have to look into a working visa? if so, how could I begin this process.
I attempted with a visa program though found that they only scammed others in which I am glad I did not further my interests with them.

If though I am so young do I still have a chance of obtaining a workers permit? or able to possibly find sponsorship? I have a large working background in the states can this help me in my chances of obtaining a job?

Lastly I was curious of the possibility if I can fly to the UK for a week or two and see if I can find work with my tourist visa, if I did find some sort of work will they be able to change my visa/passport into working visa?

Thank you for your time.

I think your plans are entirely unrealistic. Would suggest you go to the ukba website and have a look at the various working visa categories and then come back with more specific questions.

No you cannot switch from a visitor to a work visa from within the UK.

Greenie is entirely right, your plans are unrealistic. Plus 'I want to move to see what its like' is not a basis in which you should be planning to move your entire life on.
