to take employment without the consent of the Secretary of State for Employ- ment. In such a case there is still no claina to remain here in employment but it may be appropriate to refes the ease to the Department of Employment. Only if that Department is prepared in the particular case to approve the proposed employment may an appropriate extension of stay be granted; whee the circumstances of the case are such as to make reference to the Departmeht inappropriate (for example where any of the factors mentioned in paragraph 88 apply), or where the Department does not approve the proposed employ- ment, an extension should be refused. This paragraph does not apply to doctors registered with the General Medical Council nor to people who have been offered employment as a nurse or midwife on completion of their training at a hospital in the United Kingdom, provided that the training was not financed by an international scholarship agency or by their home government. Crew members
92. A person who has been given icave to enter to join a ship or an aircraft as a member of its crew, or a crew member who has been given leave to enter for hospital treatment, repatriation or transfer to another ship or aircraft in the United Kingdom, should be granted an extension of stay only when this is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which he was given leave to enter, unless he qualifies for an extension of stay in accordance with paragraph 115 or 117. Visitors
93. People admitted as visitors will have satisfied the Immigration Officer that their intention was to come for a limited period. Most of them will have been admitted for a stay of 6 months; but the Immigration Officer may have authorised entry for a shorter or longer period, and will normally have imposed a condition prohibiting employment.
94. Where a visitor wishes to extend his visit, and provided that he has sufficient means to maintain himself and any dependants, without working and without becoming a charge on public funds, for the remainder of his proposed stay and intends to leave at the end of it, an extension should be granted, provided that the duration of the visit would not as a result exceed one year.
95. Where a visitor applies for an extension of stay to undergo or continue private inedical treatment he should produce evidence about the arrangements made for consultation or treatment, or the progress made with the treatment, and its likely duration, and evidence that he can meet the cost of the treatment and maintain and accommodate himscii and any dependants during his stay without recourse to public funds. If the evidence produced is satisfactory an extension may be granted. But an extension is to be refused if insufficient evidence of these matters is forthcoming or there is reason to believe that the treatment will be at public expense or that the applicant does not intend to leave the United Kingdom at the end of his treatment.
Working holidays
96. Young Commonwealth citizens who have come to the United Kingdom on a working holiday will normally have been admitted for up to 2 years.
