If you’re moving to the UK one of the first things that you’ll need is a visa. The Alan Turing Institute does offer sponsorship (depending on the situation) along with relocation and visa expenses reimbursement.
- For more information on visas and the application process, please see UK Government website - UK Visas and Immigration.
- For non-EU citizens, once you have secured your visa, and arrived in the UK, you can collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) and generate the link for your Share Code (a code to prove your right to work) - Prove your right to work to an employer: Using immigration documents.
- You can nominate a place to collect your BRP for when you arrive in the UK during your visa application stage. We would suggest doing somewhere near your accommodation, but if you’re not sure where that is, feel free to do the Post Office closest to the British Library (where the Institute is based).
- Finally, you will need to get a National Insurance Number which is essential as a UK employee and used for the administration of national insurance and social security - nationalinsurancenumber.co.
- You can start work before you receive your National Insurance number, if you can prove you have the right to work in the UK (e.g., your Visa).
