- What are the things to know before working in London? With 8.98 million of population, it’s quite a wonder that London has been able to attract numerous people of different races and religions. London is without a doubt, an epicenter of the business hub and most of the biggest companies in the world operate in London. The higher employment opportunities have led so many people to move to London. The advance quality hospitals offer the excellent health care services to the people. The public transport system is well connected throughout the city providing people with hassle-free transportation facilities. However, there are quite a few important things to know before working in London.
UK visas and work permits:
Initially getting a UK visa is a must condition in order for working in London. That allows people to enter into UK. After obtaining the visa, work permit is needed for people to be qualified for working in London. The work permit has certain requirements which must be satisfied before working in London. The requirements are as following:
- Person looking to work should have a confirmed offer of employment from a licensed UK employer.
- The applicant must have the certificate of sponsorship issued by their employer.
- A point-based assessment must be passed in order to be eligible for working in London. These assessments vary according to the type of work permit you are aiming to obtain.
The application process is led by the licensed UK employer for granting the applicant with the work permit.
The applicant has to register for National insurance (NI) number which not only allows them to work, but also to open a bank account and get a phone.
UK tax:
Each person working in London is obliged to pay the income tax on their salaries. The tax is not only applied on the current earnings, but it is also applicable benefits, pension and saving interests. The tax percentage varies on the income bracket of workers. Basic rate of income tax on earned income is 20% for salary £12,501 - £50,000. Higher rate of income tax on earned income is 40% for salary £50,001 - £150,000. Top rate of income tax on earned income is 45% for salary above £150,000. In self-employment scenarios, the worker is supposed to keep the records of their earnings and pay annual tax accordingly. The tax system of the country also allows relief for the workers. Tax relief is applied to pension contributions, charity donations, and maintenance payments. It can also be applied in cases of self-employment.
National Minimum Wage:
Almost every worker in London is eligible for the National Minimum age. You have to be of school leaving age to get national Minimum age and aged 23 to get National Living wage. These wages are categorized according to the age limits of the workers. Apprentice have their minimum wage of £4.30. Under 18 have their minimum wage of £4.62. People of age from 18 - 20 have their minimum wage of £6.56. People of age from 21 - 22 have their minimum wage of £8.36. People of age of 23 or above have their minimum wage of £8.91. The eligibility of National Minimum wage does not depend on the nature of the contracts (permanent or temporary), whether it is part-time or full-time. It is also independent of the fact that whether employee works in employer’s workplace or if it is a remote based job.
Significance of CV:
Although, it is not a necessity and can vary from company to company, a person looking to work in London should have a CV and an online presence. It is absolutely a plus point, given the influence of online systems. Unless a worker is self-employed or owns a business, CV is not necessary.

Thanks for the information
The best city in the world
My dad is working in London and he is going to be home in months so I will be sad 😞😞😔😔😔😢😢😢
This seems a pretty accurate summary but, as someone who has lived in London for over seventy years, I would warn that you'll need a hide like a rhino to tolerate this place but, if you can do it, the city is enormous fun and genuinely unique.
@@brigittahoffmann9283 I'll leave everyone to decide for themselves whether, ultimately, it's good or it's bad. My point is that there's a much bigger trade-off in London between the good bits and the bad bits. What you eventually decide depends on which gets to you most; the good or the bad. I'm not sure the USA is that big on ethics, either!
Can you elaborate that need for a "hide like a rhino" in London, please ?
@@MarkMarkko You need to be ready to keep trying even though the odds seemed stacked against your survival. This is difficult to do, day after day, even for truly motivated people. So, you need a plan of how you will earn enough money to live and a workable "plan B" for when it all goes wrong. It helps if you have friends here who can help you out for a while by sharing accommodation. So, why bother? It is fun and there are real uplifting moments that will become memories that last forever. I've been to some football matches and gigs I would have put up with ANYTHING to witness.
@@kharmalade544 Hey, I'm planning on moving to London to work as a SW tester. Thank you for your point of view and your tips. I'm wondering if you have any idea how a foreigner can make friends in London even before I step into the country. I find it kinda weird to find people on instagram and be like ,,Hi, wanna be friends? :)) "
@@alberkulicka954 I think that would be difficult because people would be wary of a sting. But it's not hard to get to know people once you are here. If you moved to NYC you would probably only meet people in the same line of work as you whereas in London you get to know people from all backgrounds. Regarding work, try to get the firm paying you to do so as you're a self-employed person rather than an employee or a company. With a large firm this may not be possible but smaller ones usually will.
No 1, wear a stab proof vest
Especially up Tottenham hale lol
No1.. English isn't the first language
Be prepared for a comedy No11🎭
If you can't get social housing don't go!
I like to work in London plz
what fucking shit ? you do not need any visa , just coming to Dover by boat , engineers doctors etc nice welcome hehehehe
It is not worth working in the UK economy is declining
What utter crap , we are the biggest rising economy in Europe so get over it
Brexit is taking a temporary toll on the city BUT give it a couple of years to London being one of the most important business hub in the world. I'm Italian and living in London for about 14 years, I have travelled to nearly 100 countries, speak 5 languages, lived in 5 different countries and I can confidently say: There is no place like London - in the West at least. Anyone who say otherwise is stupid, frustrated or/and jealous. Simple as that.
@@deboraleggerini5729 Why is it so special?
Hi dude I'm living in italy and I wanna move to UK what do u suggest any advice please thx
Minimum wage, taxes and living costs, things that only happen if you work in London. Thank god I was watching this while waiting for my washing machine to stop, what a waste of time
