Work Permits

Work permits for overseas nationals who require them are issued in accordance with the Immigration (Work Permits) Rules made by the Home Affairs Minister and are administered by the Customs and Immigration Service. The rules set out the criteria to be met for the issue of a permit. A fee is charged for the processing of each application for a work permit; the fee is not refundable if the application is refused. Overseas nationals who have applied for a work permit must not travel to the United Kingdom or Islands unless they are in possession of the required work permit - otherwise they will be liable to be refused entry.
