Bob-666

Hello Alhawary, To get a work visa you must have a sponsor. Only your employer can sponsor you. If they are not prepared to do that, then it is impossible to get the visa. If anyone else says they can get a visa for you, they are a crook. Is the job ... Read More

Bob-666

It's impossible for a non EU citizen to retire to the UK as there is no retirement visa. There are only a few countries that permit this and they tend to be poor. I looked in to retiring overseas a few years ago and gave up on the idea. If you ... Read More

No, it's impossible. You cannot change status from a visitor visa to anything else. You can only apply for a work visa from a country in which you are legally resident. I believe you can attend interviews on a visitor visa but you must return ... Read More
