How do we get a National Insurance Number?
-
I have 3 actress friends who are American and want to go over to london for a month or two to work in Film and TV. How do they get a National Insurance Number and visa. Tried calling the consulate - but they refered them to a 1-900 number. They can't call on 900 number from a cell phone. How do they go about doing this as legally as possible? How many number are actually in the National Insurance ID #?

Answer:
There are strict limits on foreign actors coming to the UK to work. Equity (the actors union) won't allow anyone from America to take a British actors job unless a British actor gets a job in America. http://www.equity.org.uk/

They actually need a work permit to be able to do any type of work here....and as NI contributions go towards a pension, and social security benefits, I somehow doubt that they need a number if they are only going to be here for a few months, though if they apply for one following the guidance in the second link in the first answer, they will be told if they need one or not... Take a look through this site as well... http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/working_in_the_uk/en/homepage/your_status/coming_to_the_uk_.html If you can't find the info you need then use the contact us link and send them an email.

you are joking arent you?? national insurance numbers are given to RESIDENTS of the UK not to random people looking for work for a month! if they Have a job to come to then the people employing them would sort out something

If they are both American, and live in the US, and only intend to stay for less than 6 months, then they do not require a visa. They will need to apply for a National Insurance number from the local Job Centre. National Insurance numbers come in the form: AB 12 34 56 X
