(UK) Work Permit Timing

Does anyone know how long it takes for a work permit for India to be issued in the UK?

Thanks.

It can be over-the-counter*.

But...


*at least, I've seen people in London who semed to be getting theirs like that: might be wrong.

It took me around ten minutes in Birmingham Consulate.
It really depends on who are you going to work for in India but I have to suggest do not even consider getting a 6 months visa in UK and renewing it here in India. It's just not a straight forward thing here to get a new visa .

Thanks, Folks.

Perhaps it isn't quite as big a deal as I thought.

Getting the employment visa was straightforward in the UK (London) and took only a morning. Papers have to be completely in place though, and it does depend on the employer. As Ozzy says, though, extensions are really a nightmare.............

SusanUK - did you get your work permit organised without too many problems?

My husband was told by the company that he is talking to that in the UK it can be done same day but for us being in the ME it would take around a week..

Thanks
