Individuals - Work Permit FAQ Individuals - Work Permit FAQ

What is a Work Permit?
A work permit is a legal permission that is issued to your employer, by the Home Office. This gives you permission to be employed in a specific company for a set duration of time.

What is the Work Permit process? How long does the process take?
Most work permit applications take between 1 -2 weeks for the Home Office to decide. We will provide you with details of any timing and/or immigration issues from the outset.

What does No-Win No-Fee mean?
All fees are agreed upfront prior to any work taking place. If your work permit application is not successful, we will refund the fees back to you, less a £55 administration fee. If the case is particularly complicated, we may quote you on a fixed –fee basis, which will need to be agreed at the time of instruction.

How do I apply for a Work Permit?
If you have a job offer from a UK employer, contact us for a free work permit assessment. You will need to provide us with your CV, passport pages and full details of the post that you have been offered. We will advise you on your chances of making a successful work permit application, together with a quote for undertaking this work on your behalf.

I do not have a job offer? Can you still help me apply for a Work Permit?
If you have not been offered a position within a UK company, then you cannot make a work permit application. You need to speak to recruitment agencies and employers directly. Alternatively you may be eligible for the Highly Skilled Migrant [HSMP] scheme. If you think you may be eligible you will need to complete our HSMP assessment form.
