If I'm working in the UK on a work permit, could my wife legally work too?

You did not say if your wife was there on a visa, nor the type of visa she was on if any.\n\nBy your question I have came to the conclussion that she is not a citizen of the UK, so to answer your question each  foreign person residing in the UK and desiring to work  there must have their own work permit.\n\nShe can not piggy back off your status.

The best way round it is to either:-\n1. Form a company in her own country and then register it in the UK as "a foreign company trading in the United Kingdom"\n\nor\n\n2. form a non-limited business (called a proprietorship)\n\nHowever, as she is a foreign student, she should check that she has the necessary work permits. If she hasn't then any sort of work in the UK (including under 1 and 2 above) is illegal.

As a non-EEA family member of an A8 National you can apply for a residence permit stamp confirming your right to reside in the UK with your wife.  Your wife must show that she is exercising her treaty rights in the UK. You should contact an OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) registered advisor to obtain further information on how you should apply for the correct visa.

If you have a work Visa than yes, but your Visa has to state that you are here for work.

Yes, you will need a visa to be able to live and work in the United Kingdom. You may be eligible for a working holiday visa or a highly skilled migrant visa depending on your age, qualifications and skills, etc... I am happy to provide you with an individual assessment if you email me at Jessica.Stooke@Visalogic.net.

It doesn't matter where your employer is. If you are doing the work inside the United States you require a work permit from the U.S.  \n\nYou can apply for this from the immigration bureau.  If you are on the up and up it should not be difficult to get.

It depends on whether you are currently in the UK or if you intend to come to the UK to work. See the following websites for more information.

that's the best way to stay in u.k. and the only way to get a job. you can't get your own work permit.

It is possible to work but you would probably be in breach of the visa conditions.  Check with Canadian immigration if you can get switched to a working visa.

You can try to get a work visa, if a company sponsors you, otherwise you can fill out the I-130 form which is  the "Petition for an alien relative"  (if your wife is sponsoring you for a Green Card based on marriage, form I-485)along with the I-765 which is the "Employment Authorization Card" and that will give you freedom permission to work here legally.

I can answer you question for purposes of getting a work permit in the UK only as im only qualified in the uk. \n\n1. Anyone over the age of 18 and holds a valid passport can apply.\n\n2. You need to deminstrate that you have the minimum entry requirements set out by the IND. \n\n3. The minimum requirements are 3yrs experience in a specialist skill that is NVQ lvl 3 or above. What this means in general terms is someone working in a supervisory role. This is the minimum type of role you should be applying for. Low skilled jobs i.e domestic cleaners or waiting staff can't apply no offence intended.\n\n4. You need to find an employer in the UK to sponser you. \n\n5. The Work permit process is in two stages the work permit & Visa \n\nWork Permit - this is the sponsers responsiblilty as they must sign the declaration on the application and the employer legally owns the document even if you pay for it as they were the ones how signed the declaration.\n\nVisa - this is your responsiblity not the employers \n\n\nif you need info go to this website it should help.\n\nwww.visaworkpermits.co.uk\n\ngood luck\n\nmgi1975

OK you need to answer the following questions and being able to stay in the UK will depend on your circumstances.\n\n1. What visa did you come into the UK on? i.e. if you have a tourist visa this is non transferable and can't be extended normally so you would need to leave the UK and re-enter on a different visa classification.\n\n2. do you intend to work in the UK? If so you will need to find a sponser (thats an employer) who is prepared to wait for you while you sort out your immigration status.\n\n3. Are you in a relationship with a UK national this could also help your circumstances?\n\n4. I recommend you go to this website. www.visaworkpermits.co.uk\n\nthanks \n\n\nmgi1975

If you have an H1-B visa, you can transfer the visa to another work ONLY if the work is similar to the work with which you were granted the visa\n\nI suggest you contact your immigration lawyer

Yes, you need both a visa and a work permit, and it is not easy to get them, it usually takes time, a lot of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have to disagree with the marrying a Canadian girl, my husband is from the US and just because we are married doesn't mean you can get a work visa.  Visit the website they listed that is your best bet.  Marriage doesn't get you a work visa

Woah, you've asked a lot there.  Since you (a) are an alien in the UK, (b) your bride is not from the UK at all and (c) you want to get married on foreign soil, you've set up a very sophisticated, difficult immigration problem.  Consult a barrister in the U.K. first.
