I just want to know what are the possibilities of getting a job without visa, like painting houses or any kind for a few months

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Legally, none; you have no chance of getting any work without a work permit.

That said, you often hear of people appearing in the Immigration courts for doing what you are asking about, so it's pretty obvious that there is some kind of illegal work going on; when caught, they are deported from the United Kingdom and are barred from ever returning.

Hope this helps.

Minimal opportunity.

Employers are legally obliged to check your right to work, so anyone who did offer you work would already be risking criminal prosecution. You could well work and then not be paid, or anything could happen, really.

This is聽 crazy idea and will only lead you into more problems than you have now. It鈥檚 as crazy as thinking you want to cross the English Channel by boat, which is also very crazy. Please apply for a visa in the normal way and don鈥檛 consider聽 Schengen option becausethe UK is nothing to do with Schengen area. Good luck either way.
