IELTS Ideas?

Thanks for the help and advice Raynaputi.

I'm planning to maybe travel to u.k first as a tourist, know and familiarize the land, then if there are legal job offers then I would definitely grab it. I also had a friend who works in a luxury cruise, she could help me with the sponsorship stuffs. And don't worry, I don't trust online job offers as well.

Thanks so much!

Having only a tourist visa and applying for work is ILLEGAL!

Yep. It is really illegal. But I heard that there were other companies that will let you apply for a moment and then let you work as soon as you got your working visa.

Thanks for the concern Rayna. This really proves i'm safe in this forum.

Like Rayna already told you, 99.99% are scams. No matter how they try to make it look legal, they are not so again you have been warned. Do not be fooled, the UKBA are your first port of call if you qualify for work in the UK.

Oh wow! I see. Thanks for this warning Steve. I guess I should really be super extra careful. I'll keep 'em in mind.

Thanks again Rayna and Steve. Cheers!

I am just wondering about your statement above ..about a friend who works in a cruise and be a sponsor for your tourist visa, can you explain me more about it???

To be honest the whole thing sounds like an underhanded way to enter the UK. I think the OP has eyes set on coming here to visit and look for ways to find work, which of course is illegal. Either that or find a way to overstay.
The OP has not stated their work experience or background, therefore I can assume they have not got the required skill set for legal entry in the UK.

As a forum we cannot and will not advise people on how to enter the UK under false pretences or give them ways to work around the directives of the UKBA. We all pay our taxes, and I for one do not want to pay for one more illegal immigrant.

Honestly, I don't really have much ideas with regards to employment systems in UK. I was only told by my friend that in order to get a job in UK, even as a temporary worker, you need to get a sponsorship from an employer to approve your working visa. And she knows some businessmen who could help. But now that Rayna and Steve warn me about the legality and strict requirements, and that there's a chance that it could be just 99.9% scam. I doubt if the offer could LEGALLY give me a job. I just hate being illegal.

I guess I should need to settle with being a tourist for the mean. Enjoy life while young.
