    What is RESIDENT PERMIT??? HOW DOES IT DIFFER WITH A VISA???

    I wish I could attached the resident permit sent to me so that everyone can see whether real or not. I can not copy and paste the document.

    I wasted my time and money dealing with an employer whom I believe is real.

    The only REALISTIC way you are going to be able to come settle here is to marry a UK citizen.
    Much simpler if you have never been married before (so no need for annulment).

    Forget employment....unless you can be considered a 'skilled migrant', and that is unlikely, and SPONSORED by an employer (not an agency.

    Best of luck.

    Filipinas are welcome here , and if you meet someone and come in on a Spouse visa, then you will be permitted to work, without restriction.

    I just googled your question (often the easiest way to ask a general question)

    See her:- http://www.ukimmigration.com/employe...ermit_visa.htm

    A UK Work Permit is a document issued by the Work Permits (UK), a part of the Home Office Immigration and Nationality Directorate; it gives you permission to employ a specific person in a specific job at a specific location.

    A UK Work Permit is not a permission for the employee to take up work in the UK. The permission for an employee to enter and work in the UK is conferred by a UK Immigration or Consular officer who, following the issue of a Work Permit, may issue to the employee a suitable visa. The visa is an endorsement stamped in the employee’s passport.

    Even if an employee is already working in the UK on a Work Permit, a new employer must obtain a new Work Permit before the employee can change jobs.

    Sorry about the work permit info but I was thrown by the use of the expression 'resident permit' rather that 'leave to enter.'

    I am indebted to Terpe for pointing out my error so 'forcefully'

    Skydipper maybe this site will provide the info you seek:-

    thou your right john, she would need a workpermit - domestic worker visa to work in the UK as a Nanny. virtually no chance of getting that if you havent worked for the person for at least a year already.

    Honestly, I could say that I am really blessed. I have known about this website early before risking another amount. Let's all pray that no other victim of scam will the suffer the same problem as mine. I already emailed the UKBA regarding this matter. Thanks to Mr. Graham and thanks to all of you ofcourse.
