What are the needed documents for work visa in UK?
Working abroad is a very fast way to gain experience. The first thing you need to know, however, is that the work visa is the only visa that allows you to engage in paid work. While you can work with the others, you cannot receive cash for the work done. The next thing you probably need to know is that you must have already gotten a job in the UK before being allowed to travel to work there.
Before you can apply you must satisfy the following work permit requirements:
- Possess a letter of employment or a letter of offer of employment. The former means that you have already been employed while the latter means that there is a chance that you will be employed on getting to the United Kingdom. This letter must come from your employer otherwise called a sponsor.
- Pass the points-based assessment.
- Have a decent proficiency in English language.
