5. CONSIDER FUTURE VISITS

Decide if you want to stay longer

So you love it. You've started calling your friends "bloke," and you got "pissed" after three pints of Guinness in Leeds. While this SYW is really for people who want a quick vacation, you may be interested in a longer stay. Once your 6 months of visa-less stay are up, you can try to get a job so that you can stay. TNT Magazine or The Evening Standard might help you find employment listings. And if you're an American college student, getting a visa is not too difficult; you can apply for work permits through organizations like BUNAC or the Council on International Educational Exchange. But if you know that you're going to stay for more than 6 months, remember what we said earlier and get yourself a visa from a British Embassy in your city.
