Hola,

I am Patty from Guatemala. I live in England now and I help people settle here. At the BME Network in Weston-super-Mare we give free English lessons and help people find work and access services.

Specially if you are from a tropical country like myself, we aim to help people to learn how to use heaters and eat seasonally. Where is so much stuff different in England and the culture is important to know (have you heard about the invisible queue at the pub?)

Hello,
I'm a french guy who live currently in Normandy.
I keep on to improve my english skills by many ways, and I'm still searching for an opportunity allowing me to "expatriate" myself again.
And I thought about the UK...
I'm looking forward to have great talks with you all.
Later.

Hi Kim and welcome to the Forum. :)

The UK has placed restrictions on the ability on non EU passport holders coming to live and work there.  There is a list of "shortage occupations" on the UK Government website; this link will take you there.  If you fit into any of those and can find a job where they are willing to sponsor you, then you should be able to get in.

Hope this helps.

Hello. My name is Priscilla. I am from Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm visiting UK from 24 Jun until 8 Jul, this would be my first time. I'll be staying nearby London generally.

I know some people and some of my acquaintances in the UK. But it would be great if I could meet some Indonesian fellow, and also non-Indonesian, to make new friends, meet some new people.
Please let me know if you might have free time, so we can arrange to meet up, or maybe you can advise me places to visit.

I'd be glad to hearing from you. Thank you, guys!

My name is Whitney Douglas. I'm 24 years old. I'm working in Moshi, Tanzania at a volunteers hostel called Hostel Hoff with my boyfriend Tom. He's from Taunton,England. I've signed up to this website so i can ask questions and learn some stuff which are going to be useful for my future life/studying in England. I'm looking forward to chat with you guys :)

alanc41

Hi Whitney.
Good luck with your plans. It's not easy but it is possible. See the Uk visa govt site for official information.
To stay permanently you need to show your marriage to your husband either common law marriage or official. Thereafter he has to show he can support you there. Then you will have to apply and pay all the fees.

Not that easy not that hard
Wish you good luck

Good day all
My name is Johan Muller.  I am a 27 year old South African looking at the possibility of immigrating to the UK.

Its something I've always wanted to do but it just seems impossible as you dont even know where to start at.

I am finishing up my degree (Bcom in Law) at the end of the year and as such I think that puts me in a slightly better position when attempting to find employment in the UK and then making the big move.

Would love some input and help on how one makes such a move, where to find employment, where to live, etc.  Such a daunting prospect but its something I really want to do.

I am also an avid Arsenal supporter (yes I know, sad) and an all round sports lover, so the chance to go watch some games over a weekend, watch some rugby, play some golf, etc is really appealing to me.

Cynic

Hi Johan and welcome to the Forum.

At the top of the page is our Handy Tools link, select that and you'll get a link to our Expat Guides which may answer many questions you may have.

Law is a funny thing in the UK; I know many people with law degrees that can't get any work as a lawyer in the UK.  Mainly because they can't get into a firm to sponsor them through LLP and then the 2-year training.

My advice is to contact the UK Law Society for some advice; this link will take you there.

As for being an Arsenal fan, well I guess somebody has to be. :)

Although its a Bcom Law degree its not necessarily a degree that you can use to practice law.

It has a balance of financial, law and taxation modules.  The ultimate plan is to more courses for internal auditing, with compliance and risk management also a major focus point of mine.

But Ill go through all the info available on the site and see where I stand.  I really do want to make the move, but it is difficult. 

If I might ask, what is in your opinion the most sought after graduates or skilled workers in the UK?  I am planning on doing various courses once my degree is complete so maybe a focus on one area where there might be a shortage in the UK could be the way to go.
