    How Can I Go To England?

    I have a boyfriend who's from England. He came over for a holiday on 29 April and went home on the 2nd of June. We've been wanting to be together and I've been trying to look for a job in UK through the internet. It's frustrating! I don't think it is possible for me to get a work permit.

    I do not know what we could do for us to be able to be together in England to save up for our future.

    You have a boyfriend and want a work permit? Is this love thing a job then? Is he paying you for being a girlfriend, as we call them prostitutes here?

    If not then you do not need a work visa. Fiancee or spouse are all you can get.

    Maybe your BF should sort it out to bring you in UK with him. If he is in love with you and you want to be together the best way is to apply for fiancè visa or spouse visa. Forget the job hunting at the moment. If you and your fiancè get plans to get married then you can apply for spouse visa which given will enable you to work once you get in UK. Otherwise work permit is soooo difficult to attain (unless you are a very high skilled worker), specially now with the immigration flood of new EU citizens.

    Hi Aira! Make him miss you so much and long to be with you. then he will propose and you can apply for fiancee visa. hehe. or maybe he needs to save money first for your future then he can get you from Phil. it's so hard to come here in UK if you don't apply as a nurse or the likes... what sort of job do you intend to work?

    5 years old, your only 7 years older than my stepson makes me feel old now

    peanutz, you've lived in Italy for 20 years , couldn't you find your passport to get out or they not let you out

    in the uk there is the 14 year rule, if you've lived in the uk illegally for 14 years, you can be granted ILR, hmm i wonder what your entitled to after 20 years of living in Italy and did you need to go thru all your visa nightmare

    well its all over now , good luck on your big day lady

    I have a degree in Psychology so contrary to the first reply here, I am not a prostitute. Anyway, the reason why I want a work visa is that we don't intend to settle in the UK. We just think that if we both work there, we can save up and buy a property here in the Philippines.

    The best thing you can do is get your fiance to marry you apply for spouse visa and get in UK to work, save money and go back to PHIL, that may solved your problem. There is no much easier way than this.

    I got my ILR=Carta di soggiorno a long time ago Joe, but since I have no need to apply for my citizenship until I met my future hubby, I never listen to my Mom & friends who keep on telling me to apply for my citizenship, I neglect doing this things cause I was not really interested at that time (and was so busy working) I didn't do it and that was a big mistake. I know I should have applied for citizenship as I am already entitled it's just we don't think of this things when you don't have current need of it. I will apply for my citizenship before moving in UK. I am already preparing all the necessary documents. the only documents that I will need is my NBI clearance from Phil and BC, I informed how much it will cost for this documents and the Consulate office told me that NBI will costs €65.
    Anyway, most probs are already sorted out for my visa, UK embassy allowed me to send them via fax my marriage certificate after my wedding! I am just waiting for my wedding to be celebrated and send it to them e voilà soon I will be moving in UK!hehehe, do you think I should take a course for Scousers and Mancs language?

    you don't want to have the mis-fortune of meeting scousers, if you meet someone and you dont understand what they're saying its either a socuser or a pole, so your'e best bet is to just shake your head and run...

    good you earned a degree in psychology, but thats been the degree many students have chosen to do here, my neice has just passed her combined psychology/french degree, even i nearly did an open uni degree in psychology, there is no shortage of students with that degree in the uk, and infact the OU told me something like 70%+ of students dont get a job which is relevant to thier psychology degree.

    not much demand here unless its in Clinical Psychology or Psychiatry
