the scouser Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Robert, Because spousal settlement visas do not explicitly mention that the holder is entitled to work, many employers refuse to accept the visa as evidence enough. Your wife does not require a work permit and her settlement visa is sufficient authority for her to work. You can refer any employer to the following website which contains a number they can ring for confirmation:- http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/employers/employersupport/ Scouse.
