Asylum and Immigration
The UK is a diverse, multicultural society. We regulate entry
to, and settlement in, the UK.
If you want to come to live or work in the UK, go to the website
of the UK Border
Agency (external link) which explains the process and
provides all the information you will need.
Our UK Border Agency considers applications for:
- permission to work in the UK
- permission to stay here
- citizenship
- refuge and asylum
Depending on your circumstances, your application may be
assessed on factors such as:
- your ability to contribute to the economy
- your risk of persecution in your home country
- whether your relatives were born here
- whether you are a citizen of a Commonwealth nation
