Step 1
You complete the workpermit.com on-line application form (THIS IS A FREE SERVICE)
Step 2
workpermit.com considers the application; if there are any issues, we contact you to resolve them. We then formalise instruction and e-mail to you a completed work permit application form (WP1)

- Original employer's references covering, ideally, the last 5 years of the candidate's employment
- Copies of any advertisements used to try to find an EU candidate
- Signed client contract (if applicable)
Step 4
workpermit.com makes the work permit application; after 1-4 weeks, the permit is approved by Home Office Border and Immigration Agency, and is sent to workpermit.com
Step 5
workpermit.com sends the permit to you. If the candidate is outside the UK we will also send instructions on how to obtain a visa from the British High Commission.
If the candidate is already in the UK in a long termstatus they will need to apply for further leave to remain.
If you would like to apply now, go to workpermit.com's on-line application form or an FLR (IED) form which takes five weeks.
