    It's impossible for her to get a carer job in the UK, unless she's already here. She would have a hard time getting a working visa. Search through the forum regarding working visa for nurses/carers and also go to UKBA website and read on the process of getting a working visa.

    i found the link from the UKBA website about working in the Uk http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...ation/working/ now, i dont have any idea on what category she'll be likely in.. my question is, what are the requirements for a working visa based on her situation.

    I would also say her chances are almost zero.

    Here is the UKBA webpage for Working in the UK

    It's all explained in the publication called - Tier 2 of the Points Based System – Policy Guidance.

    It goes hand-in-hand with work listed on the Tier 2 Shortage Occupation List


    As you should know:-

    The job should be a skilled job that cannot be filled by a settled worker.

    Any Applicant must score a minimum 70 points on the PBS

    The job must be rated at a certain minimum qualification level.

    The job must be paid at a certain minimum salary level

    There is an annual limit on the number of Certificates of Sponsorship available under Tier 2 (General)

    Both you and your friend are strongly advised to review the above links.
    You'll find all the answers you and your friend need.

    Quite an eye-opener.

    Have a look at this from Sept last year

    http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/global-fi...pino-nurses-uk

    I thought there was an angle once where nurses could get in as student carers and then do some sort of conversion course. Might be worth having a word with some residential homes in your area.
