Getting your visa:
Though it’s different for every individual, the usual way for Australian and New Zealand veterinary professionals to gain a UK working visa is through sponsorship. Subject to a successful interview (either face-to-face or by telephone) with Vets Now and to passing our clinical skills checklist, Vets Now will be happy to sponsor you through your visa and to assist you in achieving RCVS registration (essential to work as a veterinary professional in the UK).
RCVS registration:
It generally takes between six and eight weeks for your RCVS registration to be processed, so you should plan to start your application at least a couple of months before you intend to start working in the UK. Vets Now will be happy to assist you.
