Working in the UK?

Want to work in the UK but don’t hold a UK passport? There are a number of visa and work permit options currently available to allow non European Economic Area nationals to work legally in the UK. The categories for applying the criteria for each category were changed with a new structure that came into force during 2008, with further changes due over the next 12 months. Here at Carlton Professional we would be happy to discuss your situation and provide you with information on the options available to you. We cannot process any application on your behalf; however we can put you in touch with the relevant authority.

Migration to the UK now falls under the following main categories:

There are of course additional visa classes (such as spousal/dependant) not covered here, but we have summarised the most common scenarios that we experience in relation to veterinary staff.

General information on these (and other visa’s) can be found on the UK Border Agency website:

Another useful link is the self-assessment calculator which allows you to input your details against the relevant tier scale to see how you rate:
