@Amir I'm sure you are aware already, but though I'd say, that's only one reason of a few of how someone may qualify automatically for a work permit...

I'm actually unaware of other ways, at least for footballers. The international figure is what I've always heard (before appeals, etc). Obviously the process has been updated over the years because we see more and more appeals being successful compared with the days we've had to let Kirovski go or failed to sign Celio Silva, but I'm not really sure about the main process.
 
FFS! This season is frustrating beyond belief already

Work Permit! Do they think he's going to moonlight as a minicab driver!
 
What happens if the work permit is refused? Could be due to this court case hanging over him.

As we have already paid for him, I guess we would have to sell him, but we would be limited who we could sell him to!
 
His work permit is taking a long time to come through. I hear Abel Hernandez who will soon sign for Hull already has his.
 
Without repeating what has already been said, why have we signed a player with having previously obtaining a work permit? To get him in quick? Last haste more speed.
 


I feel like this clip could be made into a topical gif with a bit of trickery.

Can you actually apply for the work permit before you hold the registration?... There has been lots of appeals before (usually because a young player does not have enough caps) but these players usually are signed by then so either clubs continually take risks or perhaps you cant apply till you hold the registration.
Something with third partnership ownership holding this one up so I'm not hopeful it will be resolved quickly
 
Have we though? I would have thought all such moves were subject to work permit.

WE brought Dong Fangzhuo a few year ago (2004) and had to loan him out to Royal Antwerp because we could not get a work permit in the UK for him.

We couldn't just give him back to his previous side though.
 
Should we be worried about this? Would be absolutely disastrous if Rojo fell through now.
I don't think it will fall through. It's based on appearances for the national team in the last 2 years or something, so he'll be fine. If all else fails, he marries a European or we send him to our Belgian feeder team for 6 months.
 
I have a feeling he won't get the work permit and we end up loan him to another club. World will laugh at us. Bad preparation from us and his agent for not knowing that he doesn't have a work permit. Blind rumours shows up again. This could be alternative for us if Rojo's work permit fails.

Of course everyone knew he didn't have one. There's no way he could have had one without signing for us.

Exactly.. Why would he even have a work permit (to work in England) before he even signs for an English team? Some people on here just look for ways to blame the club.
 
Abel Hernandez has problems too with a work permit at Hull. We just have to wait. My fears are more based on the accusations of the bottle attack or whatever it was.
 
Why until Monday? Didn't LvG say it will be sorted out during international break?
 
Hmm, could be the reason we have gone after Blind, in case the Rojo deal does collapse knowing he can play LCB, LWB as well as DM.
 
Come on, get it sorted! I want Rojo to play for us asap!
Can we still register him even if he doesn't get the work permit until Monday?
 
Surely considering some of the rough neighborhoods these footballers come from,just hitting someone on the head with a bottle shouldn't be such a big deal. Has there been a precedence where a footballer was refused a work permit because of such complaints?
