If you are holding a spouse visa then that allows you to work - you don't need any other papers. Just show any employer your passport and if necessary point out your visa.

It's only if you were in the UK with just a fiancee visa or a tourist visa that you wouldn't be allowed to work.

Hi Ross, i guess youre thinking about the certification as those company in the Phil,ask that to know your previous experience...here,they will give u application form and you will state there your previous employment and they will base there your knowledge on the job you're applying for....but some of the company says experience is not essential
How are you? Have u done with all the visa ?

If you have a spouse visa you can work in the UK from the day you arrive here. You just make an appointment at your local job centre, take your passport along with you and apply for a national insurance number. Then just get yourself a job....... if you can find one.

I called them earlier to apply for a NI number for my wife.
They were very helpful and asked for her details, name, date of birth and passport number.
They said it should take a week to process and she may be asked to attend an interview.

You don't actually need a National Insurance number to start work, though if you haven't got one you should apply for one as soon as you start working (if not before).
