what can you do but
Employing a Bulgarian or Romanian National in the UK.
From 1st January 2007, as European Economic Area (EEA) nationals, Bulgarians and Romanians have been able to move and reside freely in any EU Member State. Bulgarian and Romanian nationals wanting to work in the UK will need to obtain authorisation to work before starting any employment, unless they are exempt from doing so.
Section 1: Categories of employment requiring an Accession Worker Card
This authorisation will normally take the form of an Accession worker card. For certain categories of employment, the Bulgarian or Romanian national will be able to apply to the Home Office for an Accession worker card without the need for an employer to apply for a work permit. These categories are:
(a) Airport based operational ground staff of an overseas airline
(b) “Au pair” placements
(c) Domestic workers in a private household
(d) Ministers of religion, missionaries or members of a religious order
(e) Overseas government employment
(f) Postgraduate doctors, dentists and trainee general practitioners
(g) Private servants in a diplomatic household
(h) Representatives of an overseas newspaper, news agency or broadcasting
organisation
(i) Sole representatives
(j) Teachers or language assistants
(k) Overseas qualified nurses coming for a period of supervised practice
(l) Voluntary workers
If the employment does not fall into one of these categories, the process for obtaining authorisation to work is in two stages:
• The UK employer first applies for approval of the employment under the work permit arrangements.
• The Bulgarian and Romanian national must then apply for an Accession worker
card. See the further information available at:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/wo...ania/applying/
The UK employer should complete the work permit application forms (WP1, WP3, SR1, PD1, MTI1, WPSI and SB1) using the relevant guidance notes as below:
• Business and Commercial,
• Training and Work Experience,
• Sports and Entertainments,
• Sectors Based Scheme, and
• Student Internships.
maybe the HO can refuse them authorisation![]()
