Traveling to England as a visitor, and then staying there woorking

Hello :) I'm a Mexican who lives in Mexico city, I would like to visit England without applying for a visa and I know that as a visitor I can do it. But once I get there I would love to apply for a job. Is that possible?? Here I studied English Teaching Major, and currently I teach English. Is it possible for me to teach Spanish there?

Hello !
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to come in the UK as a visitor and apply for a job. You need to apply for a work visa before moving to the UK and it might prove very difficult. To get a work visa, your potential employer will need to prove that he/she cannot find any UK/EU citizen with the skills required for the job.

Here is the UK visa website: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas … ing/tier5/
