Sportspeople
This section explains how you can come to the United Kingdom as a sportsperson without a work permit. In most cases you will need a work permit and you should see the work permits, sports and entertainers section for more information on this. This section, however, explains that there are certain circumstances where a sportsperson can come into the United Kingdom without the need of a work permit.
It also explains:
- if you are eligible;
- how to apply; and
- if your dependants can come to the United Kingdom; and
- how much it will cost; and
- if you can appeal.
