The info that you will provide will help everyone who are interesed to study and work there. Thank you Send a PM to Deven. He is the best person to reply. It is fairly easy to change student visa into work permit provided you have a degree from UK. If you haven't got job in UK, the best way is to come as Higly Skilled Migrant (If you qualify for that). There are some training visa as well. Other visas except studnet are just like Tourist visa and will not give any facility such as medical and others. This is just a basic information. Check with Deven jee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucifer 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Yogesh bro Thanks a bunch for the info. The reason behind I asking here is so that others could benefit from the same info that I am getting and Deven ji won't have to write the same thing five- ten different times in the pm. I am sure there are many among us who are seeking to go to England but dunno the best way to get in, putting them and theirs status in jeopardy. Anyways, your info did give me the base to do a little resarch on the matter. Thanks:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
