Subject: Document for WorkPermit Application
Dear xxx,
As a non-UK national, you will need a work permit before you can take up employment in the UK. For your work permit application; I have attached the UK Home Office Work Permit application forms. Details of your academic qualifications and employment history should be provided in the form. All sections in the form should be filled except for Section 7, which should be left blank. I will provide the information needed in this section.
Filled forms should be provided with the following:
1. International Travelers Insurance Policy
You should take one year coverage International Travel Insurance
Policy, this a mandatory requirement by the British Home Office (UK
Government agency responsible for the issuance and approval of work
permit), this is because the policy proves you are medically fit to
travel and work in the UK and also a per requisite to renew your
resident/worker's permit every year.
Based on the new Home Office guideline, the accredited insurance company is BOURNEMOUTH ASSURANCE in the United Kingdom. You are to contact them and obtain their insurance policy via their website at www. bournemouthassurance.com or email: info@bournemouthassurance.com.
You will be issued a certificate after you have gotten their policy.
These documents are to be sent to enable me get your work permit
before your date of resumption.
It takes between 2 to 3 weeks for work permit application to be
granted. Once work permit is issued, the UK embassy in your location
will invite you and you will be required to come with you
international passport.
Other logistics issues relating to traveling and accommodation in UK
will be handled by UK Employer upon confirmation of your work permit.
Thanks,
Thomas Brian
