The first step in applying for UK work authorization is to complete your
application. It takes approximately 90 minutes to do this. After you
submit your application, you can move on to the next steps such as
booking your biometric appointment.
Notes:
Other people can assist you with your application. Note that
under UK entry regulations you must
electronically sign and submit your own application unless you qualify
for an exemption. Even if someone else helped you complete the
application, you (the applicant) must click the “Sign
Application” button, or your application may not be accepted.
**Please be patient as you use this form. Download times may vary
depending on your internet connection speed.**
