Overseas doctors (including those from the EU) wishing to enter the UK specialty training programme must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and then apply for posts along with all other applicants in open competition.

Doctors who are not UK or EEA nationals and whose immigration status entitles them to work without restriction in the UK will be considered on an equal basis with UK and EEA nationals.

Other non-UK or non-EEA nationals with limited leave to remain in the UK whose employment will require a Work Permit (such as those on student or working holiday visas), are subject to the resident labour market test and may only be considered if there is no suitable UK or EEA national candidate for the post.

Evidence of immigration status should normally consist of a date stamped passport and accompanying letter from the Home Office. Applicants and assessors should visit www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk for more information.
