Hello.

I am Victor, from Mexico,28 years I am seriously looking to move and live in London, I would appreciate if someone could tell me the basic thing I need to do, to be able to move and live in London, England.

I have the passport, but that's it.

Thank you for your time!!

Hi Victor,

you write 'I have the passport' - Do you mean the british one or another european? If yes, there is not much needed anymore, except a bit of money, to come here!

yes, I have an european passport....but, do you think I could get a job more less quickly,....


what I mean is...  say that I am going on vacations but I'll stay the UK to work.

I have been researching about getting a visa for working in London, but for that i must have already a job offer in london, and that is very unlikely

I don't want to be misunderstood, the true is, that in Mexico there  are no jobs, or are badly paid....no even enough money to survive by yourself..... I am 28 and still living with my parents, because of these situations.

I want to go independent, and I am willing to take the risk to go another country, working in whatever, (except illigal things)

Thank you for your reply.

Greetings.

Hi,

That's great!! If you have an European citizenship / passport, then you don't need a visa to come and work in the UK, there is the right of free movement for Europeans within Europe, without any visa required!

which European citizenship do you have? I assume you got it because you have relatives originally from Europe?

The economy is not good here at the Moment. But then, you seem to be very flexible and would be happy with any job, and because of this I am rather sure you will find something.

I think you should learn as much English as possible, your English seems to be very     good already though!

Then, check for cheap flight tickets to the UK, check prices of things here.
Try to have as much money as possible (obviously :-) ) to keep you over water till you have a job, and until you get your first salary.

Things are expensive here, it will be tricky in the beginning!
Best is to stay the first few days in a cheap hostel maybe, and then look for a shared accommodation. Many people in London share flats, because renting is really pricey here.

And then, look for any kind of job as quickly as possible, print many CV's and go from store to store, and check the bars etc. and also look for jobs in any area you might have studied.
