2012 UK Work Visa options for SA
Welcome. A new year with new opportunities presents itself. Now I am sure you are wondering what visa options for South Africans are available to work in the UK.
Since the 2009 recession, most first world countries have tightened their visa criteria in an attempt to address the unemployment rates. Understandably so.
Giving credit where it is due, the Brits have implemented a visa system that encourages Entrepreneurs and Investors as a means to stimulate their economy. Not a bad way to encourage growth.
Now, "how does this affect me?" you might ask. Well, gone are the gap year visas (2 year Working Holiday Visa) and so is the Highly Skilled Migrant Program.
So, if you are married to a Brit or EU national or you have UK born relatives, then there is a good chance you can secure a visa that grants working rights in the UK. If not, applicants are recommended to try our free UK visa assessment to hopefully identify other alternatives.
You are also more than welcome to contact us.
