Need advice or Help to get opportunity.......
18 years ago, July 14th 2005 No: 1 Msg: #2196  
Hello Everybody,

I want you to share me this problem.....

I love to travel...i don't have enough money to travel as a tourist.

In the same time I love to get summer training in Europe, Canada, Australia, or US.

I found that all Commonwealth members have the right to get summer internships (paid) and work-holiday (paid also).

Unfortunately, although Britain occupied Egypt for 70 years, we are not a Commonwealth member.

I tried as much as I can to find working-holiday program, BUT IN VAIN.

I also tried to get summer training BUT IN VAIN!!!!!!!!

I love to travel Britain to get the experience of travelling, to get training experience, to improve and practise my English, to work-holiday, I tried, BUT IN VAIN.

Even when I tried to visit some of my friends in London the Embassy refused.

Can ANYBODY here ADVICE me WHAT TO DO????

Much Obliged.

Well - I can understand your frustration but no one here will be able to help. Governments take positions on Visas and we as citizens/subjects etc just have to accept them and work with them.

If travel is your true passion - then think laterally - there are some fantastic destinations near to Egypt.

If you're looking for getting to the UK for work - well WorkPermit.com explains the rules in a no nonsense fashion.
