You’ve just gained yourself a new follower. My family and I are considering moving to UK. We don’t know where to start so your videos will definitely be of assistance
This is not useful at all, the whole point of getting a job offer is to sponsor a visa, you had a shortcut that most of us don't have
Very helpful information. Learning a lot from this channel.
That’s so great to hear! Let me know if there’s anything specific you need more info on and I’ll try and help! Thanks so much for the support!🙌☺️

What degree/job do you currently have that allowed you in the uk? Just curious of an example that got someone in
Hi! Do you have any tips on getting in touch with the recruitment agencies in the UK?
Hi Quirky. That was so informative. Im in SA. Which agencies do you recommend. Im a Math n Science PS teacher.
I'm really looking for work there.. I currently do not have the rights to work there. Iv been applying since last year. My preference is London, the south west of England . I am really hoping for a move
Hi Sim, for the work visa application is your qualification supposed to be verified by SAQA ?
Hey
I’d like to ask how I can get an employment agency here in South Africa
Very informative video 🔥.
I can't find the link for the visa sponsored roles. Please assist, TIA 🙏
So sorry about not adding the link! Here you go: www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations.
I hope this helps! 😊
which recruitment agency did you use
Hi, do you have any information on applying for Apprenticeships in the UK as a foreigner? I’m from South Africa, Ive just finished high school and I’m looking to do some online courses and then head to the UK in search for an apprenticeship. Any advice?
Seems like there's so much of us talented people moving!!!
Eish I'm gna die doing this move😔
Hey mam thank you for this informative content... I'm Sphelele Mncwabe from PMB, KZN South Africa.. I've just finished my S4 for electrical engineering (process Instrumentation) at MANGOSUTHU UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY.. and I'm looking for an inservice training there in the UK is it possible.. And please help me with the Step because I don't even own a VISA or a Passport
Thanks for the information and tips. Is it normal for a recruitment agency to ask for a fee?
Thank you for watching! ☺️ No, that is not normal and I would be very careful of companies/agencies that ask for money as ot could be a scam. The recruitment agency is paid by the companies that advertise with them so you shouldn’t be expected to pay anything. I hope that helps!
Very helpful, I was also skeptical. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
@@welilemngomezulu2559 Which company was this???
Hey. What did you study?
Hi , I am aswell from South Africa and I have been thinking of finding a job in the UK !! I graduated high school in 2020 , do you think it could be possible for me to find work in the UK ?? I have alot of experience in trucking and farming.
For a skilled worker visa you’ll need to have up to a level education (which in South Africa equals to first year of university)
If you don't have a Visa, can you write on your CV that you don't have a visa and you require sponsorship?
I would suggest focusing on applying for jobs that will offer sponsorships and then you can mention on your CV that you require a work visa. A good place to start, is to look at the occupation shortage list as these are jobs that they need resources for in the UK. Here's the list: www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-shortage-occupation-list 😊
I want to travel to south Africa
This video is very helpful my niece need a job she just just graduated in Chemical engineering so she's still looking for a Job here in South Africa and the list of the visa sponsors job shows that she might have a good chance to be taken but sometimes we are scared of the scammers could you please give us the tips how can we find if the post is legitimate or not?
Congratulations to your niece, that's great! My husband is also an engineer so I know that there are a lot of opportunities over here in that field! He mostly used CV Library to find job opportunities. I think a good place to start is to use the well-known job websites I mentioned because the ads will have to comply to certain policies so should be less of a risk. You can also Google the company or the recruitment agency that's mentioned in the ad and if nothing comes up I would definitely be suspicious. Also, if they ask you to pay any money, I would also not trust it at all.
How to get a job in overseas as a south African
I have a diploma in safety management ,do i qualify,
I am experienced Physics teacher from Africa( Egypt) but i don't have visa access to UK...Do i have a chance in getting teaching job there! Thanks
Yes there are special recruitment agencies that help people find jobs as teachers in uk. Just do an online search. You’re also a physics teacher which is on the shortage occupation list which helps a bit.
Is there any agency that can help me get any job ????
Been looking for 2 years.. I'm close to giving up..
Hi I'm a South African professional nurse want so badly to go in UK can u plz help me how to go about it
Hello there would it be possible to get a job in the UK coming straight from university. I am studying Mathematical Statistics at the University of Pretoria and would like to be data scientist. Could I get a job straight from university
I would recommend looking for graduate programs in the UK that are open to foreigners. Even if the program is just for a few months/a year, it could still be an opportunity to find a more permanent job while you are here. With that type of degree you could potentially get a skilled worker visa, it's just finding the right company that can sponsor you.
helpful video please send me links for jobs I have an International degree and I have lived in United Kingdom for two years on a working holiday visa .
Why didn't you just ask your company to sponsor you?
Thanks for the information, I've learned a lot. Does UK recognize South African degrees? For example, if you're applying for Accounting post, will they recognize your degree as eligible for a post ?
Interested to know as well?
Hey Klaas, there are a lot of things that have an impact on this - the type of degree, which institution the qualification is from etc. My bachelors degree from the University of Pretoria is recognized in the UK, but for something like Accounting you might have to complete an additional exam so that you are qualified in the UK as well. I know this is the case for lawyers but not 100% sure about accountants. For my visa, I also had to submit my degree to UK Naric to get a certificate that states that my degree is valid in the UK as well. This is the website if you want to have a look: www.ecctis.com/
Get an Ecctis comparison done. It used to be called Uk Naric. It gives you the level your degree etc is on in the UK
Depends if your qualified or not. Recently qualified as a CA, and they recognise you as qualified equivalent . If you get an offer with a big firm, you’ll be sponsored as well. Due to skill shortages
Hello please may you help me I am a Zimbabwean staying south africa I'm currently working in a restaurant but I would like to move to the UK and I'm looking forward for a sponsored visa any tips you can give me
Hi I’m sorry if you don’t have a degree you don’t really qualify. Your education level has to be at minimum of A-level, which is equal for the first year of university in South Africa.
Hi my sister i have to go uk i need to your help please can you help me procece
HOW DO I FIND A LEGAL POST IN THE UK
Hi I’m looking for the same
Hi I'm graduate caregiver and I'm looking for job in UK I don't have visa I'm being trying since from last year can you please help I will really appreciate it
Getting a sponsorship is almost impossible unless its a shortage job best route for anything is Ancestral Visa or your spousal
visa anything else is almost impossible
An ancestral visa is now R100 000.00 so that`s now pretty much impossible...
@@ca9968 Not impossible, And its R115000 all said and done. It takes time to save it but worth it.
@@rhysbutcher8660 for some it is impossible...my best friends mom is a pensioner in SA living month to month, she qualifies but has no way to cough up 100k...and, as a South African living in the UK (8 years now) I can say that it used to be worth it but definitely isn`t anymore...out of the pan and into the fire here at the moment...the UK is about to collapse...i`d tell any Saffa to stay put...
@@ca9968 Out of the pan and into the fire is far from reality. Unfortunately South Africa is not the same place as it once was even 8 years ago. My entire family was born in the Uk and still live their. My wife and I move to the UK in 25 days. As much as you think the UK is bad by comparison to the SA that sentence is a joke. The The uk has stood for Thousands of years. Despite what the Uk news might show. The country isnt going anywhere soon. People sit without jobs here for 4 years plus then take one that pays less than 200 pounds a month. Where as I have had over 40 jobs offers this week alone from the UK. So please My dude at this point understand that Hell would be better than this place as it stands
@@rhysbutcher8660 Just wait and see...you`re about to feel that same sting over here...white people are being marginalized and discriminated against at every turn, the economy is on its knees, people are going days without a meal and cant afford to put their heating on, it`s be warm or be fed, the lines at the food banks are getting longer and longer every day, violent crime is off the scale in every city, all of the small towns are awash with drugs, mosques going up everywhere, the police are almost as incompetent as the SAPS unless you say something they don`t like on social media, then they are coming straight away, good work is extremely scarce unless you are willing to enter into a zero hour contract for basic minimum wage (Which is nowhere near enough to live off) the cost of food has pretty much doubled in the last 6 months, petrol is the highest it`s ever been...I can go on and on...this country is going to fall because that`s the way the politicians want it...it`s already been sold down the river...so, good luck with the move...
I'm 40 years n I wondering if I stand a chance of getting a job in UK
If you have qualifications and good work experience, you would definitely have a chance.
I have no qualifications behind me so I am struggling to get a job
I don’t think you have much of a chance, you’ll need at least a degree to move to the UK. Why else should anyone sponsor you? There’s plenty of unqualified workers in the UK. Your best bet is to then join the Royal Navy (in the UK). They allow commonwealth applicants.
@@AJT86 Hope You well,,what is the age limit for the Royal Marines.Thanks
Please help me please
