Placement Adventures # [One Last Time] !This just in!

I have to stop my trail of posts with some news I just found out that will be more useful for the current students, than the future, but still...

Almost every student in Aston, no matter what degree, will undertake a placement year. Once he/she finds a placement there are some questions that will come from the company, mainly concerning living and working permission in the UK for Non-UK students. Well, if you are from Bulgaria or Romania, here is what you need!

Now, as long as you have a work permit for just casual part-time work (i.e. up to 20 ours) you do not need anything else. Furthermore, if you have any kind of work permit (i.e. vacation work) and it is dated more than a year ago, you do not need anything else.

You do not need a work permit if:
"[If] you have been working with permission, and without interruption, in the United Kingdom for a period of 12 months ending on or after 31 December 2006. For example, you are already present in the United Kingdom as a work permit holder or in some other category that confers permission to take employment (for example as a student and you have been in part-time employment continuously for 12 months)"

You may be asked for a Student Visa or a document proving that you can study in the UK. This will probably be due to bad company information. The document that states your permission to study, live or travel in the UK is your passport (ID card).

This is it really, once you have these two, you are good to go!
