Getting a work permit
Question
I am looking for a job and have noticed that many adverts state that the applicant should already have a work permit or be eligible to stay and work in the UK.
I thought it was the employer who applied for a work permit on behalf of the employee. Therefore, I don't understand how it would be possible to already have a work permit prior to applying for a job.
