Can you work in London if you're an American citizen? Do you have to apply for a permit or something? Thx!
I would like to go there and apply for internships/jobs for this summer and I was just wondering if you needed a visa or permit to work there. Also do you need this permit BEFORE you enter Great Britain or can you obtain it while you're there? Thanks! WOW! Thanks guys!!! :)

Unless you have a skill that is desperately needed in this country, you cannot get a job unless it can be proved that the vacancy cannot be filled by someone from the EU...seriously! If you were lucky enough to be offered a job then you would definitely need a work permit... http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/

Unless you hold a European Union or UK passport, you cannot just fly into any country in Europe and interview for jobs. Well, you can, but they won't hire you. Since you are not an EU citizen, they have a duty to "protect" their own citizens where employment is concerned. If you have a highly specialized skill that is in demand, that may be different. As an example, if you wanted to teach English in Europe, the company would have to prove there is no one else in the EU who could do that job, since you would be taking a job away from an EU passport holder. So obviously an English or Irish citizen could do that job as a native speaker, so you would not be needed. If you were willing to work under the table, you could find someone willing to hire you, but be careful that they don't take advantage of you. They will not offer you any benefits and can use the employment against you (if you don't work X hours, they could fire you, etc). You can show up in England and stay for 90 days (If it is the same as mainland Europe) as a tourist and see what happens but be aware it will be hard. A lot of Aussies come to the UK looking for casual work and they can legally live/work there. The laws were more lax in eastern Europe but even that is changing now. Good luck.

Very difficult for an American citizen to work in the U.K. You need to research the info on the page below. Other articles may offer some help. Good Luck, this won't be easy.

The starving children shown in the TV special looked more like (cadavers/stalwarts) than living creatures. 4.

As (restitution/infraction) for the damage he had caused to the family car, Phil promised to clean and polish it regularly for a full year. 6. Since my next paycheck was not to be had until the first of the month, I reconciled myself to living (austerely/inconsequentially) until then. 7. The woman is known and loved throughout the community for her many (redoubtable/ beneficent) acts on behalf of all types of unfortunates. 8.

Although his conduct may not have violated any law, I consider it a gross (cadaver/ infraction) of conventional ethical standards. 20. The conductor of the orchestra was so (desecrated/disconcerted) by the noisy audience that he stopped the performance and asked for quiet.

What is the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain
What is the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain?
Could somebody finally explain to me the difference between United Kingdom, Great Britain and the British Isles. Im sure I have known in the past as I am British but Im working in South Africa and people get confused when I say I am from Scotland but also Britain and also UK. Then I just confuse myself. I am quite embarrased asking this as I should know! I agree mindflux, people think Scotland is in England....thats the number one way to wind a Scotsman up!! I made the mistake a couple of weeks ago filling out a entry form at the border with Botswana. I put country of birth: Scotland, Nationality: British and my passport has United Kingdom (UK) on the front. This created confusion all round. In future I will put UK for all three.

The United Kingdom is England, Scotland & Wales - Great Britain also includes Northern Ireland
2 :
There isn't a difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain, they are the same thing. The british isles are the islands of Britain (like isle of man etc.) Essentially they all mean the same thing.
3 :
The difference between Scotland, Great Britain, UK, and the British Isles. Scotland is a country on the island of Great Britian which it shares with two other countries, Wales and England. These three countries join up with a fourth country, Northern Ireland, to form the political entity of the UK. This is like the EU. Some countries are part of it, but they are still seperate countries. The British Isles contain the Republic of Ireland because they are on the same island region. To summarize... SCOTLAND IS COUNTRY GREAT BRITAIN IS ISLAND, UK IS GROUP LIKE EU.
4 :
Assuming you're a U.K. passport holder, all you have to remember is what it says on the passport. 'The United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.' Bear in mind that Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales and there you have it.
5 :
Scotland = country Great Britain = island. Great Britain home to Scotland, England and Wales. United Kingdom = a union of countries. That being Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. People (Americans) think Britain = England. So I say I am from Scotland as do most.

Do I study in America or Great Britain(read more!)
Do I study in America or Great Britain(read more!)?
Okay, So i'm in my last year at high school and i'm going to go on to a sixth form/sixth form college but as I want to study in America i've been thinking about university. I'm a british citizen and I want to study forensic science or something within legal stuff, but NOT a lawyer. I know America have like Yale,Havard,Browns etc all the ivy league universities I've also been looking at boston,ohio and virginia. I also thought I could study at University of California? Whereas Britain has Cambridge,Oxford etc.. My mum said America is MUCH more expensive and we can't afford it, she's a single middle class parent who works her butt off to give me what i need/want. My dad wants me to achieve with my dreams but he to agrees with my mum. Would I be able to get financial help from britain if i was to study in the usa? Or would I have to find independent loans/grants etc.. Also which universities in either America or Great Britain have the best courses for Forensic Science and what undergraduate course would you suggest to go on to do forensic science? Any help appreciated!
