UK working visa application for EU member

[jeyare]

The creative soul who creates this immigration questionnaire to get a working visa to the UK has earned a doctorate in behavioural psychology. Maybe two.

But why the limit to 1000 characters? No possibility to insert images or video attachments.

Does anyone at those offices really expect someone to write something like "YES, I'm a terrorist or/and a war crime maker" and send it with the feeling that he/she will get the visa?
I do not prejudge that we have such resourceful creators in the EU as well.

I'm not sure that the human brain uses more energy than any other human organ for some members of this civilization.

It seems daft but then if answering 'No' means you've lied on official documents then that's one extra infraction to a list. A bit like being pulled over by the police for a dirty/obscured licence plate: it's just step one and the opening gambit.

Would be interesting to visit the links for "Terrorist Activities" and "War Crimes" to see more details. Can you share the links (vs screen shot)? I think @fredbert has a point about lying on an official form. Ron

I am *not* googling that!

Just checked... it can involve running non-Synology memory on your NAS, or installing SDDs/HDDs that are not on the compatibility list.

Who knew?

Skilled Worker visa

Apply for a Skilled Worker visa (formerly a Tier 2 General work visa) if you’ve been offered a skilled job with a UK employer - eligibility, fees, documents, extend, switch or update, bring your partner and children, taking on additional work

www.gov.uk

use the big green button: Start now
but it’s in the middle of the application steps, you need provide detail like scan your ID/passport, …

Same questions when you go to the US - "are you a member of a terrorist organization?"....

 

[jeyare]

what is interesting:

We (Home Office) may also share your information with other public and private sector organisations in the UK and overseas.

 

[ed.j]

Don't read into it too much, loads of public sector work is farmed out to the private sector.

Just write in the box "I wasn't aware this was still a requirement"

I understand what labor market protection means. No doubt.
Gaining visa for skilled workers (UK definition), which according to the UK qualification system has 70+ points is quite a demanding process (from the point of view of the process, not from the point of view of points achievement). The UK Home Office has been verifying my son's university education for 3 months. The approach to this process is sick: send us this, we have 10 days to study received. They follow that period. The answer really always came on the 10th day. However, there has been always a new request for another document. And the next 10 days were in the air.
The official verification of the education and its alignment with the UK education system had to be carried out by the 3rd party UK private authority, which again dealt with it for a month. And it was an education from a university that belongs to the top in the field. Of course as a paid service.

There is a huge overemployment in this world. Anywhere. The states spend huge costs on something that can be solved much better without the cost of such achievements. This civilisation is sick.

From news reports, there seems to be a huge delay in getting official stuff done at the moment. I wouldn’t take it personally because that assumes they have any human empathy or whatever the negative is.

Agreed, thats the reason I bailed from the UK to warmer climes... though up until last weekend, the government in Oz were equally callous.
