Educators From Overseas

The Relocation Advisory Service, operated by the Scottish Executive, can provide information on all aspects of living and working in Scotland, including Visas and Work Permits. Visit them online at www.scotlandistheplace.com

Can I Come To Work In Scotland?

  • There is demand for qualified educators from all over the world to work in Scottish education. Some basic information is provided below.
  • It is important to remember that you must apply for and be accepted for a Visa or Work Permit before coming to Scotland.
  • If you qualify for a Visa you will be entitled to work in the UK with no restrictions.

Citizens of the British Commonwealth

Educators from the Commonwealth are entitled to a two-year Working Holiday Visa provided:

  • You are a Commonwealth citizen aged between 17 and 30 inclusive.
  • You are in the UK as a holiday maker as your main interest. You should not have contractual obligations to work before entering the UK.
  • Any work you undertake must be purely incidental to your holiday and intended merely to support your travels.
  • You must be single without dependents. If you are married, your application may be accepted provided you do not have children.
  • You must not intend to remain in the UK for more than 2 years [including time you spend travelling outside the UK].
  • You must have sufficient funds for your fare home and to support your initial stay.
  • On any previous visit to the UK you have not infringed any laws

European Union Passport Holders

  • Anyone with a European Union Passport is automatically entitled to work in the UK.

Dual Nationality

  • Anyone with dual nationality in Britain, or another European Union country, is automatically entitled to work in the UK.

British Parent or Grandparent

  • Commonwealth citizens with a British parent or grandparent are entitled to claim Partiality and have the right to work in the UK for up to four years.
  • If you have a parent or grandparent who was born in a European Union country you may be able to claim partiality.

Spouses

  • If you are married to a British national you will be entitled to work in the UK.
  • The same may be true if you are accompanying a spouse who has British or European Union Dual Nationality or Partiality.
  • Be sure to check - since rules change.

Work Permits

  • If you are not able to work in the UK under any of the above methods, you will require a Work Permit.
  • These relate to specific jobs; so in order to apply for a Work Permit you must have been offered a teaching post lasting at least 12 months.
  • Once you have been offered a position, your employer will apply for a Work Permit on your behalf.
