if you're british the visit visas are more relaxed...you do indeed have an excellent chance in a p.r. customer relations type job...so would be very suprised if you didn't find a job very quickly....just don't ever say "im coming here to live in sin with my boyfriend" and you'll be ok...but he cannot obtain you a residence permit unless his company, or your new employer sponsors you for it...as mentioned above, certain countries' citizens are affected by a "clampdown" on abuse of visit visas being used for short term employment...e.g. hotels bringing in entertainers, temp laborers etc..was a widespread practice...but for UK passport holders..don't think it has changed much...just c'mon down for a visit and see what transpires...why not fly for GF? You can make lots of business contacts for sure
