Travel and Work in the UK with a Tier 1 UK Visa
-
There was a time when getting any kind of working visa in the United Kingdom was quite difficult, even for citizens of Commonwealth countries. But, if you are a current legal citizen of Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, you may qualify for a Tier 1 UK visa which will enable you to live and work in the countries of the United Kingdom for up to two years, with a possible three year extension.
One of the major changes in this visa in recent years is that you don’t need to have a job promised to you when you arrive on the shores, and you don’t need an official sponsor. What that means is that you can arrive with a backpack in hand, travel to wherever you want within England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and find a job. Having this kind of flexibility in searching for a job makes it a lot easier to find one that you really like.
Many people who get a Tier 1 UK visa do so with the intention of living and working in different areas of the country. So, if you want to spend summers in Brighten, working on the pier, and winters working in bustling London, you can do that. You can also leave the country, travel through Europe, and come back to work in the UK when you run out of money!
The requirements for the Tier 1 UK visa are that you are an English-speaking national of a Commonwealth country, you have money in the bank (in your name), and that you have a Bachelor’s degree or higher. For people who don’t meet these requirements
, there are other visas available from the British High Commission that will enable you to live and work legally in the United Kingdom for an extended period.
