Employment visa application
Hello everyone!
Please help me with this, is it possible for me, as a UK passport holder, to apply for an Employment Visa even though I haven't lived in the UK since 1994?
I am hoping you will be able to help me out as I am having difficulty making a decision.
I applied for an employment visa for India 2 months ago in Paris, via VFS. But they say it could take another 2 months for it to come through!
It is driving me crazy just waiting and I am worried my boss will replace me with someone who can get there in a more reasonable amount of time.
So should I not just cancel the application here and rush over to London to apply for one there? Or would it take ages too?
Thank you§

Hi Bollybaba.... just to say Hello and Welcome to the forum. As you can see, I'm not in India, so cannot help you at all. Sorry you've had no replies on here so far. I'm sure someone will be along soon to advise you. All the best

Thanks BackedBean! I found out the answer in the end: you don't have to live in the UK as long as you are a UK passport holder

Re: Employment visa application
I see, yes I have: last for a month in the Tamil Nadu, it was amazing!!! Have just wanted to go back ever since. So now I have a contract there for the job of my dreams.. Only thing is: the visa!
I applied 2 and a half months ago and have a lot of trouble, don't know if or when it'll come through.
Sad!
