Please note the Civil Service nationality requirements for most job roles –
In summary, only nationals from the following countries (or associations of countries) are generally eligible for employment in the Civil Service: the United Kingdom (and British protected persons), the Republic of Ireland, and the Commonwealth. Certain EEA, Swiss and Turkish nationals are also eligible for employment. Section 1 of the Guidance contains detailed provisions on verifying an applicant’s nationality and thus their eligibility for appointment to the Civil Service. For further details see this guidance.
