Workers Registration Scheme for A2 workers
A2 workers are free to come to the UK, but may be subject to worker authorisation. This means that you are only able to work in the UK if you hold a valid Accession Worker card (Purple Work card) or if you are exempt from authorisation (Blue Registration Certificate).
An A2 worker, in addition to the checks above, will require authorisation before you begin work, unless you are exempt. The authorisation will be in the form of a card or a certificate, which will set out any conditions on your employment. If you do not have a Blue Registration Certificate the University will be required to apply for a work permit on your behalf.
Upon receipt of the work permit (if approved) you will need to apply for an Accession Worker card (Purple Work card) using the form BR3. Further details are available on the UK Border Agency website.
The University is required to take a copy of the relevant worker authorisation document (or any documents that establish that you are exempt from authorisation) before you start work.
