Work permit and visa for UK

Published

Hi! Can someone pls help me because I have an employer from UK and I need to know if this is real. He said he will process my visa and work permit in UK and from what I understand I need to pay for the work permit first so I can have my visa. Is that true? The 400 pounds work permit fee is very big for me, I don't want to waste money for that if it's fake. I will be employed as a caregiver for his two children.

This is his message:

"Listen now, on your visa application forms they required your working permit number.Mallinson will process your visa and working permit same time together.British Labour Department will approve your working permit first before issue visa.

I am your employer and i am the one who will guide you on how to procure your documents to avoid any problem.You will follow all my instruction if you are willing to work for me.I have told you all the procedures and you must comply to ensure you have all your documents on time.You are not in England and you haven't travel to Europe or England.This is England procedures.You have to secure working permit registration number first before they will approve your visa.

Hope you understand?"

I hope someone will reply soon :confused: Thank you very much.

Suggest you check out the UK borders website. There are only work visa you do not by the looks of it need a permit and visa

Any doubts I would suggest chatting with someone who has certified experience with UK immigration

I have not been in the UK for awhile but it looks like the visa described was for an 'au pair' visa - a nanny visa. I am sure this is a post that can be filled by any EU citizen and therefore would be difficult to be filled in by a non-EU. Your friend is Filipino too?

'This is England procedures' - a phrase I doubt any Brit would write unless you are dealing with a non-native English speaker. The grammar and tone does not appear genuine. The sender attempts to control the receiver of the message with the way it was written. Not a linguistic expert but this is my 2 cents.

I would suggest reading more on the link above and search for 'au pair'

And please tell your friend that if she/he is asked to wire money to them then report them to the police. Once you send money overseas you will not hear from them again. I guarantee that.
