Since Brexit, EU citizens need a visa to work in the UK unless they have status under the EU Settlement Scheme – Irish citizens are the exception. The National Living Wage is £12.71 an hour from April 2026, and a Skilled Worker visa usually requires a salary of at least £41,700. Find out where to look for a job, how to apply and which visa routes are open to you.
The National Careers Service gives this advice for a UK CV:
The interview: read the job description carefully, research the company and prepare examples from your experience. For competency questions, use the STAR method (situation, task, action, result). For online interviews, test your computer and connection beforehand and be ready 5–10 minutes early. More interview tips.
Diplomas: UK ENIC, managed by Ecctis for the UK government, compares international qualifications with the UK system (Statement of Comparability). To check whether your profession is regulated and who the regulator is, use the Regulated Professions Register.
Key figures: Eurostat (population on 1 January 2026; unemployment and employment rates 2025; minimum wages July 2026); for the United Kingdom – Office for National Statistics; for Liechtenstein – national statistics. Country information: EURES – Living and working conditions, public employment services and the official government websites listed under each country. Rules, thresholds and amounts can change – check the official sources before you move. Updated: October 2026.
