Which visa/permit do I get to move to the UK?

Question

I'm simply moving to the UK by myself and I need to know which visa/permit to get. Once I get there I will be completely on my own and I will need to find a job and support myself. I need to know what type of visa/permit I need to apply for and if I need to apply for it now or after I move.

Also my friend mentioned something to me about a "living visa/permit" just to live there. Do I need that or does it even exist?

Answer 1

If you have grandparents or parents of UK nationality, you can apply for an "Ancestry Visa" which I believe is valid for 4 years. After that you can apply for permanent residency (however, you must be from one of the colonies--Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) You will need to provide proof of your lineage (ie, grandparents long birth certificate, their marriage certificate, parents long birth certificate, your long birth certificate, etc.)

If you are between the ages of 18-35, you might want to think about getting a "Working Holiday Visa". There are companies out there who will do the paperwork for you (for a fee). I recommend "BUNAC", only for the simple fact that they are familiar with the laws and requirements. They don't do much more than aquiring your visa for you--you're still left on your own to find a place to rent and get a job on your own, but they will answer questions more readily than approaching a complete stranger off the street. You can google them, or most universities offer their brochures in their student resource offices.

You must do this before your departure date, and as well you need to have proof of sufficient funds (ie a letter from your bank that you are in good standing). If you are serious about doing this, I recommend you research more than just the visa before applying. Find out as much as you can about the culture and laws. For example, you need to have a TV license just to own a TV. You cannot just go buy a tv from a store and then hook it up at home if you don't have a license. You also need to pay council tax, regardless of whether you own the property or not. Also, if you decide to rent, make sure you can get at least one bill in your name, otherwise you will have difficulty opening a bank account. And make sure you bring more cash than the minimum they suggest, because it is extremely expensive over there!!!!

Answer 2

You must get your visa before moving to the UK, because they will send you back home to do it anyway.
There are a number of visas that you can get, like highly skilled migrant, work permit etc.
The best way to find out is to look at the home office website.
(by the way, you need to have enough money to support yourself, as the UK is expensive and they will look into your finances...)

Answer 3

Go to the British Embassy in your country and ask them what options you have.

Be prepared to part with a lot of cash for your visa to purchase and to renew it once you are here.

I think it would help you if you could get a sponsor i.e. job sponsor.

You just can't "move here" it isn't that simple.
