If i got a job here and wanted to transfer to the UK on a work visa would i be able to or no?

for etc. if i got a job for a company that was in the UK here and wanted to move there would i be able to if it was kinda of a common job like lets say a wal-mart clerk but was going to stay there for long term and permanent u think i could or no?|||Having lived and worked in both places, I think the following is clear: firstly, in law you cannot take a job which people here could do. If you were a high up in an international company, then obviously you could. I actually taught the AOL guy from Greece English down in WSM. I worked in Texas for two years - but I was married to a Texan girls. But have no fear: in both countries there are millions of illegals. I just don't think the laws are being enforced at all. There are so many foreigners in both the USA and UK now you would not stand out. What sort of job you could get under those circumstances is open to doubt. Obviously 'proper' jobs would be closed to you. I had a colleague who worked undocumented in Boston for THREE YEARS!! My cleaner comes from Irkutsk in Siberia and she has been here seven years.





Personally, I would say you would be wasting time, and you would be better off staying closer to home and building a career. It's not all milk and honey when you go abroad. It can be dark, cold and lonely, and full of those bogeymen in flying saucers (gibber, gibber).|||You will not be able to do this. The UK Home Office made changes to their immigration laws in recent years. If you are an American you can't just arbitrarily go to the UK and apply for a work permit to get a job. Well, you could, but it will be denied. They have issues with unemployment for their own citizens in that country, and they will not allow foreigners to just come there and get visas to take jobs that their own citizens could be hired to do. It would have to be some highly specialized professional type job that none of their own citizens qualifies to do, and even in such a case your application would have to be sponsored by an employer.|||you need to get your tranfer first, then apply for British Work Visa. Once you have all your paperwork and guarantee that your job is secure then British Government will definitely issue you with work Permit Visa. if you are thinking of staying in UK Permanently then forget it as it is no longer possible.....|||I suppose this is the least of your worries but we call wal-mart asda





strangely enough i was wondering the same thing in reverse, if i got a job at asda and transfered over seas to america would that be possible ? Technically yes if my job at asda/wal-mart was in a specialised feild and asda/wal-mart would be willing to sponsor me (both highly unlikely but i wouldnt say impossible) your best bet is try to become of a citizen of any EU member country, that would give you the right to travel work and live anywhere in europe, spain may be easy for an american to become a citizen of for instance.|||If you want to stay indefinitely in the UK, almost certainly not. See the details onn the border and immigration web site for details of jobs which may allow you to stay longer, otherwise you may only stay temporarily.|||its no likely to happen


the uk now has a new points system


questions would be asked as to why the job was not filled by a person already here





or be a job that no one else already here is qualified to do|||It's very unlikely. The visa process toughened up recently.|||Yes anyone can get a 12 month work visa even if you have no skills! Just pop down to your nearest British embassy!|||where are you?
