Work permit advice for Non-EU Nationals

If you are interested in applying for positions in the UK you will need to have a valid UK work permit. Individuals from countries outside the European Economic Area must be in possession of a work permit to allow them to take up employment.

As a Non-EU national if you wish to obtain a work permit without having first obtained a job offer and sponsorship from a UK company we suggest you contact UK Working. They can provide preliminary advice and assistance: visit their website at www.ukworking.com

Nationals from the following countries do not need a work permit to take up employment in the UK:

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Cyprus
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Estonia
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Iceland *
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Latvia
  • Liechtenstein *
  • Lithuania
  • Luxembourg
  • Malta
  • Netherlands
  • Norway *
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • Spain
  • Sweden

European Community law grants EEA nationals a right to live and work in the United Kingdom. This is called a right of residence. For more information on immigration to the UK take a look at the website of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate at the British Home Office.

The Home Office's Immigration & Nationality Directorate is responsible for immigration policy and the UK's on-entry and after-entry controls.

* Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are not members of the European Union (EU). However, the European Economic Area Agreement gives nationals of these countries the same rights to enter, live in and work in the United Kingdom as EU citizens
