Thanks Chris,



I am continuously applying through many websites including Planning Planet Job Section, but no success.



As I understand no Recruitment Agent is allowed to sponser work permit and getting HSMP approval is very difficult.



Hence requested for any other way to get the Work Permit to work in the UK.



Thanks once again



Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,



Since you have 14+ years experience, I’d guess you are over 30 years old, so a Working Holiday Visa is out, but you might consider a Work Permit Visa. For this you need a job offer from a UK employer which allows you to apply for a sponsored work permit. However, the permit is valid for only 5 years and for the specific employer only. The good news is living and working in the UK on such a visa counts towards permanent residency requirements.



If you take a look through the jobs section on PP you may find something to suit you, and you can start from there.
