Ecuadoreans must apply for a work visa if they want to work legally in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland).
There are several types of visas: short-term, long-term visa, investor visa, qualified work visa. Due to the UK leaving the EU, in the so-called Brexit, foreign workers can only work on a special visa. This has to be issued by the government, although it won’t be granted until December.
To apply for a visa, a series of requirements must be fulfilled, in addition to paying an amount determined by the authorities of that country. This information is in The official website of the British government. However, without a letter of recommendation or a guaranteed job, it’s hard to get one.
