Hello everyone.


My name is Jose I am 22 years old and I'm from Spain. I am a Network and Systems Administration technician I've been searching for a job as an IT technician, programmer, database analyst, or any kind of job related to the IT sector as a whole.


I've always been quite good in terms of English and I recently got a C1 certified in English by Cambridge so I hope it does improve my chances of acquiring a job on the rock.

Hi Everyone,


This is Paul and I live in Maryland US and after 20 years, looking to move back to the UK with my American born wife.


I'm in the early planning stages right now and will be looking for help with many questions, I'm sure.


I will probably continue to work, for Oracle. at least for a period before looking at something new. My wife will continue to work as an Integrative Health Coach, both for her current US employer and for something independent for the UK.


I grew up in Derbyshire, before moving to Oxfordshire and will look to rent somewhere initially in the southwest, before researching something more permanent.


Looking forward to the interaction on this site and getting some good feedback.


Thanks again.

I have been working as a Sales marketing agency  for 2 years, where I manage a company of my brother .In addition to my professional background, I have a strong interest in different hobbies like traveling, cooking, sports and reading. I enjoy mostly sports because Im a footballer I like to play during my free time to staying active and healthy.I am looking forward to experiencing the culture, lifestyle, and opportunities that England has to offer. I would appreciate any advice or tips on the best ways to handle the visa application process, finding affordable accommodation, and any other insights on settling in England. As my budget is quite limited, I am particularly interested in any resources or support networks that might offer free or low-cost assistance.Thank you in advance for your help, and I look forward to connecting with you all

Hi and welcome to the Forum.


Unless you are diploma qualified, you will struggle to get a visa for this.
