Working Holidays in UK (London)

Our 19 year old nephew is off too LOndon UK for a working holiday.
He stayed at High school for 3 years without passing his HSC and has
absolutely no
skills (except conning people). What are his job prospects in London and
also finding suitable accomodation.???? Also what are the visa
requirements.


TIA


I'd recommend he skip London and head for Ireland.
I remember reading an article in one of the Irish newspapers a couple of
days ago about a former bin man turned "investment advisor", cheated
people out of 770,000 Euros by promising them attractive rates of return.

Seriously, he should be spending time on his studies instead of holiday
making in Europe.

The state our country is in we'll probably welcome him with open arms,
give him a 3 bedroom house and enough money to feed a family of 5 per
week!!

and f hes that good at conning people he'll fit in great with the people
in london,

Dont think so, London people are not that gullible, whats more they do
have their dignity.

You obviously havent been to the UK recently!!!

He wont, he's too dysfunctional and very lazy. London can be a very
unforgiving place
for those that travel there unprepared.

It would help if we knew the nationality !!
I'm guessing that as you talk of an HSC that he's from Australia.

The OP posted from IP Address 211.31.178.157 which is located:

OPTUSINTERNET-AU
descr: OPTUS INTERNET - RETAIL
descr: INTERNET SERVICES
descr: Chatswood, Sydney

I think one can assume he's Australian.

In which case he needs to look up the aforementioned 'working holidaymaker
visa'.

Loads of information at:

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Fr...=1018721068240

and

http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/wor...idaymaker.html

I gather the financial qualification is the major hurdle...

Would you like to tell me how you tracked my ISP provider via the IP
address??? Just curious thats all.

It was me who traced it using IPNetInfo - a small look-up utility.
The method Craig mentioned is also very usable. There's also
websites like DNSstuff etc.

You can't hide :-) Lol.

Yes I know, I lived there for only 2 years (1976-1977) around West
kensington, Barrons Court and Shepherds Bush area. Luckily I had a good
occupation that was in demand (IBM Computer Operator). I was averaging
Two pounds and fifty pence per hour.
