Success in the examination for Non-EEA Qualified Optometrists enables those qualified outside the EEA to register with the GOC and practise in the UK.
The Home Office has recently introduced changes to the immigration system. This may affect your application to work in the UK. We strongly recommend that you
familiarise yourself with the UK Border Agency’s new point-based system to ensure that you have a realistic chance of a job in the UK before you begin the application process for the Non-EEA examination.
