If your a kiwi, how long can you visit and work in England?

Title Working in Uk

To work in England - you have to be Slovak, Polish or Ukrainian

Unless you want to work in a pub in London, in which case it's compulsory to be a Kiwi or an Aussie.

My wife worked i a pub in London. I preferred the other side of the bar. Spent almost as much time there as she did. s2art2008-03-17 23:33:16

Liverpool? She wasn't the bouncer in the bar, was she?

I'd understand a few of the kiwis who had gotten into the sheep going to Wales.... but Scotland?

I know you dont think so, but we dont really care about Scotland that much. You love to hate us, but we dont care, 'cause your not really good at much are you?

Cheers ginger and phil!

They don't need to sneak into the country, just hop on the flight from Gdansk to Peterborough, and with a cheeky smile the Borders & Immigration officer will welcome you with a hearty, 'Welcome to the UK Dariusz' - your local bleeding heart liberal town council will ensure that there is a Polish community centre for you, we've now abolished all local holidays and now only celebrate the holidays our ethnic groups celebrate so as to not offend anyone.
Please don't laugh at the bewildered expressions of the locals when sitting in the GPs for your free NHS treatment, they are only expressing their disbelief that they feel a stranger in their own country, whilst watching the communities they've known for generations disappear before their eyes.



I've long been a supporter of immigration, but I think 1.5 million immigrants from Eastern Europe to the UK since 2004 is just too much too soon. The government haven't put any strategy into dealing with so many people arriving into the country, and there are desperate shortages of housing, schools, doctors to support the massive change that has occurred in such a short period of time.

I think there should be a hold on the expansion of the EU for at least 15 years to allow the UK (and I suppose Ireland, France, & Germany) come to terms and settle after this most recent wave of massive immigration

yeah just like the english!!

i know your fishing but why would you wanna go to england everyone goes there


as for Scotland its one of  the best places in the world
I love spending time there and the next time i go i will be spending nearly all my time there not in england

The working holiday visa gets you in for 2 years but yuo can only work for a period of 12 months over the course of the 2 year period.

Oh, the joys of EU. For my money, Croatia should steer clear of it for some foreseeable future. But I'm sure they won't.

On the upside, the English football team may benefit from Croatia joining EU...el grapadura2008-03-18 10:04:41

2 world wars and 1 world cup!

Oh and I suppose you can count that sub-class sport, egg-ball, which we've won aswell, recently.

Because I'm English, and I like it. Only thing I'd miss is the Nix really. Contemplating whether to move down to Welly for a couple of months til the season finishes!

I assume you are unable to get a British passport? If so how do you consider yourself English?

Wolfben, are you saying England won both wars?

Scottishbhoy2008-03-18 16:33:23

Wow i never knew it was just England that won the war!!!

Not poor me!

I can, I was born in England and lived most my life there,  I have an English passport right now.

I wasnt asking for me ;)

No Scotsboy, it was William Wallace who won both wars, and will most probably win the 3rd

If england is so great then why are you even in NZ?
