In this article, we give a quick overview of immigration routes available for workers in creative sectors, looking to work either temporarily or longer term in the UK.

Vous êtes français et vous souhaitez travailler au Royaume-Uni ? Voici ce que vous devez savoir.
En tant que citoyens de l'UE, les français bénéficient de la libre circulation des personnes au sein de l'UE, ce qui signifie qu'ils ont le droit de vivre et de travailler dans n'importe quel État membre sans avoir à demander de visa.
