If you are a skilled professional with good work experience in India and planning to work in foreign countries.
UK (London) would be the best choice for you to work and live in because the process of getting a job in the UK (London) is smoother and faster compared to getting a job in top countries like Canada, the USA or Australia.
In this article, I am going to discuss my top 4 experienced tips that would help you get a job in London from India.
Why the UK?
Though Canada and the USA are the top countries compared to the UK, the process of getting a job and applying for a visa to these 2 countries requires more time, favourable conditions and costs more.
To migrate to the UK you don’t need a permanent residency visa. You only need a job offer with visa sponsorship from a licensed UK employer.
Every company in the UK can not provide visa sponsorship. Companies that registered for the license with the UK government and got approved can only offer job offers with visa sponsorship to foreign candidates.
So the clear motto is getting a job offer with visa sponsorship from a licensed UK company.
