Residence in the UK after BREXIT


Spanish veterinarians will be able to work in the United Kingdom by meeting the requirements described here.
Veterinarians arriving in the UK from January 1, 2021:

They must apply for a visa (Skilled Worker Visa) when there is a job offer on the table. Costs are around £464 for a visa of less than 3 years and £928 for more than 3 years.

Demonstrate the appropriate level of English according to the RCVS. The government will not require this level of English when applying for the visa since they must comply with the RCVS language requirements.
