Hi,
It's better for you to go with fiance visa and then get the residence permit through marriage than getting a work permit. Why?
Because with the marriage visa you will get the permanent residence in 2 years, and then will be able to get a british passport too.

If you go with a work permit, it will take 5 years until you get permanent residence status. And this work permit will be valid only for the current job. You will not be able to change jobs without getting a new work permit, etc...

You better be in the flexible side and go with the marriage visa - you never know how the market is, and if you have a marriage visa your employer will know you are flexible and if you get a better offer you may go! But if they know you depend on them to stay with the visa, they may not give you proper pay rises, etc...

 

Glauco,the point here is that poster wants to work from the moment she arrives.She cant do that on fiance visa,thats why need for a work permit.
Once married she can apply for spouse visa,which supersede any work permit given.
