(3) don't brag about a UK MA. they will give you one for free, no work required, for graduating undergrad and remaining alive for 8 years

This one only works for Oxbridge and it still costs £20 or so. Most MAs here are the real deal, which is why the fake Oxbridge ones are supposed to have (Oxon) or (Cantab) after them.

OP, I think you might be a bit deluded as to how easy it is to just rock up to any First World country and that absolutely includes the US. Also I'm not sure what 'Commonwealth residency' is supposed to be, this isn't 1900, you cant just swan about the Empire as you please.

i was wondering when the negaverse me would show up, hi feedmegin

op, i have studied what i have studied for eight years, i am engaged to one of them, and they STILL throw my application out before the interview stage as soon as i click the box labeled "I do not currently have the right to work in the uk". what makes you think you do not deserve to get in loving line?

:respek: did not know you're looking to move here btw. If you end up going for FLR(M) instead let me know and I can give you the low down. :)

There is no line. You could try to get a work visum but you need your employer to sponsor you, and then they have to convince the government there's no one in the UK or the EU who can do what they want to ship you in for. There's also the issue of brexit.

You could also try to get in on a student visa but studying in the UK isn't cheap, and there's no guaranteed pay off in the form of a job at the end of it. There's also the issue of brexit.

Ironically, Brexit might if anything make both of these easier for an American citizen, but even everything else apart it would be worth waiting a few weeks to see how that all pans out and what shape it takes. Things are a teeny bit unstable in that regard just at the minute.

Is it going to make things easier though? I thought a bunch of big companies are leaving and not taking all of their employees with them

Dude's a photographer, not an investment banker or a car factory worker. We're not at the 'mass unemployment for everyone' stage here (yet).

Is there a huge shortage of art photography teachers in the UK? That seems like a very small market that could be easily filled with local applicants.

I'm sure it is, and it's not going to get him a work visa, but he's at least no worse off in that respect after leaving the EU.

-This doesn't apply to you but I have a chip on my shoulder about it: being from the commonwealth means jack poo poo, you get no privileges whatsoever from being a Canadian or Aussie

To be fair this is bidirectional. Canada wouldn't cut me a break either for example.
