planB Junior Member Member # 6833	Posted January 17, 2003 12:40 PM From what I've read (forget where... the Economist I think) the EU is working on an agreement to allow free movement of labour for residents (and not just nationals). However, like a lot of other initiatives, the UK is indicating that it won't sign up, at least not at first. I'm uncertain as to the time table of this agreement.
Thorsten von Thyssen Member Member # 4397	Posted January 17, 2003 01:42 PM The UK has made it very clear that it would opt out of the proposed directive. -------------------- ----------------------------------- ...cut the bullshit please...
Bobblewait Member Member # 6527	Posted January 18, 2003 07:52 AM I think it is very unlikely the UK would sign up since: a) Being English speaking/diverse it would probably attract the bulk of 3rd country nationals resident in the EU b) There are over 4m Turks in Germany, and various EU countries would be very wary of putting out the welcome mat for these guys who, given the way they are treated in the Fatherland, may well want to escape to somewhere more civilised.
gora Junior Member Member # 6852	Posted February 05, 2003 05:51 PM Where do l apply for this work permit and how much does it cost. l have offers that are waiting but due to the fact that l don't have a work permit l can not work. quote: Originally posted by TNAVON: Yes
kayac00 Member Member # 5977	Posted February 05, 2003 11:59 PM your potential employer applies for the work permit for you. permits are usually only issued for specialist jobs were the applicant has a degree and there is a demand for the skills the employer has to prove t work permit uk that they advertised the job and were unable to fill it with either a uk or eu resident i think right now it is hard to obtain a work permit i hope this helps
