Visa Help?

[spam]

A friend of mine who works in HR has the following dilemma... can you perhaps help me help her?

"He came to England on 27 April 2005 He has a working holiday maker visa, the work permit expiries on 10.03.06 but he can stay until 2007 on my holiday visa his passport expires in November 2014 ... don't know the exact day

This guy is South African, my understanding on this is that on a holiday maker visa you can work in the UK but has to be less that 12 months. Can he extend this to work longer or would he need apply for a separate workers permit

I have spent a while trawling through government websites but can't seem to get a definitive answer"

I'm confused??/ Is this person you want to help a he/she or yourself.
I have no idea what you are saying that they can stay on YOUR visa until 2007.

Bottom line is that a WHV is exactly that and is granted for 2 years after which they must return to their country of origin.
If during the course of their employment they end up working for a company that wishes to retain their services, the company can apply for a work permit, this however is no guarantee that it will be granted.
The only other work related option would be under special skills, but he/she would have to meet fairly tough criteria to qualify.
