What is your Nationality?

Under UK immigration law you must have the right to work in the UK either by having relevant nationality or European Union status or by possessing an appropriate visa. The Foundation is unable to sponsor any visa applications, so you must have and be able to demonstrate an existing right to work in the UK.

More information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa and https://www.gov.uk/eu-eea and https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration. Commonwealth citizens who do not possess an appropriate visa, in line with UK legislation, do not have an automatic right to work in the UK.

Once you have uploaded the correct documentation using the 'browse files' field above, please specify carefully in the field below the type of documentation you have provided evidence of e.g. 'United Kingdom Passport'

Please enter these details as carefully and precisely as possible as we may use this field to judge whether your application is eligible.

By clicking submit I confirm an existing right to work and live in the United Kingdom, and that if I am not a UK national I have the required visa or settled status in place.
