The UK is not a part of the Schengen area.A separate visa is required to enter the U.K.Citizens of most Commonwealth of Nations members (or other highly developed or high developing countries) do not need a visa to visit the UK for 6 months.


If you are an overseas national who is not settled in the UK and you intend to work in the UK, you must have a work permit unless you are:

* an EEA national/including Estonia/
* a Swiss national
* a family member of an EEA or Swiss national who is in the UK exercising their treaty rights or a family member of an EEA or Swiss national who intends to join them in the UK, or is travelling with them to the UK
* a citizen of Gibraltar
* a Commonwealth citizen with permission to stay in the UK on the basis of UK Ancestry
* a seaman under contract to join a ship due to leave British waters
* a person employed as a civilian in NATO Forces
* a person given permission to stay as the dependent of a person settled in the UK
* a dependent under another category (in some cases), or
* a student (in some cases).

European Community law gives EEA nationals a right to live and work in the UK. This is called a right of residence.

You have an initial right of residence in the UK for three months if you are an EEA national. You would lose this right of residence if you or your family members became an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the UK.

If you are an EEA national and you want to live in the UK for more than three months, you must be a 'qualified person'. A qualified person means an EEA national who is in the UK as:

* a jobseeker
* a worker
* a self-employed person
* a self-sufficient person (someone who can support themselves financially) or
* a student.

You do not need a work permit to work in the UK but you may need to register as a worker under the Worker Registration Scheme. There are also separate requirements for Bulgarian and Romanian workers (see below).
