This page gives a general overview of what's involved
in applying for a UK Work Permit.
|
| STAGE
1: If you have a candidate in mind......what do you need to
do? |
| Firstly, you need to discover
if your candidate
qualifies? |
| Then, download
our Employers Assessment Form ( Rich Text Document
- 12kb - requires WinZip
) |
| After receiving the completed
form, we will access both the position on offer and the
candidate's eligibility to determine how we can assist
you. |
Then, within 48 hours we will contact you as to how we
can proceed with your case.
|
| STAGE
2: These documents will then be required in order for us to
process your application: |
| References required are
dependent on the candidate's qualifications. These references
must be on letter headed paper, and must confirm the
dates of the candidate's previous employment and position.
It is helpful to have references that detail technical / professional
skills in previous roles, while testimonials to character and
competence are generally not required. |
| Copies of the candidate's
academic or professional qualifications, memberships
etc. |
| If the candidate is to
work on a client projects, signed copies of a selection
of contracts with the clients concerned. |
| The candidate's passport
if they are in the UK, and if the candidate has held a previous
work permit, please include a copy. |
Provide a copy of the company's
most recent audited accounts or latest annual report,
company brochures, marketing / publicity materials etc. This
request is standard practice by the DfEE to ensure that
you qualify as a bonafide UK employer.
|
| If you have NOT made
an application before, or made an application within the
last four years, or your company has NOT been trading
long enough to have filed accounts, you will need to provide
additional information including: |
| A copy of the company's
Certificate of Incorporation |
| A copy of any office
lease signed by the company |
| A copy of utility bills ,
invoices |
| Proof of company funding
(i.e. business bank statement, or other supporting documentation) |
| STAGE
3: Processing Your Application |
If
your candidate qualifies, and we have received all the relevant
documentation and paperwork, the process will take about
1 week to complete from our submission.
We finalize all the paperwork and liaise with the DfEE and
Work Permits (UK) to ensure that your company's requirements
are properly presented for a favourable and prompt decision. |
