A work visa is unlikely unless you can improve no one can do the job from the uk or the eu (ie highly skilled job etc)
Vistor visas are possible but for a young unmarried person unless they have a very good job, loads of money/land (ie a reason why they not wanna run away from phill for good) they are pretty hard to come by.
I know its not the news you wanna here and both visas im sure are possible, but just make sure you research all the rules and regs well before applying to save hassle.
