@saorean - if you're genuinely fleeing persecution, then you can apply for asylum to the UK or to any other EU country.
If you're an economic migrant, then I understand that. You're BSc degree and good English should stand you in good stead.
All the best

JimmyYoung and FadingAlbatross, I expected responses like yours, so I won't take it wrongly. Heck, even I would be apprehensive, so it's all love.
I'm not disturbed because I know my motives are pure. Thanks all the same.
getting a work visa to the UK is very difficult. you need to check which skills are needed by employers and look out for any sponsorhip offers. its mostly in the medical / healthcare sector.
@LoveUniHateExams, first, can one be granted asylum on the grounds of religious persecution? Second, the bottle neck is that my plan is to leave and eventually leave the borg without my family knowing. So if I apply for asylum that would defeat the purpose.
As an economic migrant what do I need to do? I know it's easier to come on work visas. I know that I stand a better chance if someone helps me secure the job abroad. Then I can take care of the rest logistics from my end.
Information and practical help that's all I ask. I'm not asking for a dime from anyone. I'm restating for emphasis "I'm footing my own bills, I believe I have sufficient savings to cover this."
Thanks.
@stan livedeath are there any particular websites you could recommend where I can check for skills needed and apply?
first, can one be granted asylum on the grounds of religious persecution? - this depends.
If you're claiming religious persecution from Jehovah's Witnesses, then I doubt it, although you may as well give it a try - I might do so if I were in your situation.
my plan is to leave and eventually leave the borg without my family knowing. So if I apply for asylum that would defeat the purpose - ok, then perhaps the best thing would be to apply for a job in the UK or other English-speaking country (or in another country such as France or Germany if you speak good French or German).
As an economic migrant what do I need to do? - I don't know. I'm not good on those kind of details. I'm a bit of an academic myself but I don't know shit, really. Sorry, buddy, you'll have to ask someone else. XD
What BSc do you have? What experience do you have?
If you have a first class or upper 2:1, have you thought about doing a PhD overseas, e.g. in the UK?
With UK-born PhD students, you get funding that covers all your living expenses, etc. I'm not sure if that's the same for foreign-born PhD students so you'll have to look into that yourself.
Stan livedeath : thanks for the link. Checking it out...
LoveUniHateExams: thanks for the input. Appreciated!
- Fortunately for me, I have a Bachelor's of Science Degree. I will pay for the VISA process and flight ticket. I have my own savings to live on, so I won't be a burden.
