    Hello Teju22:

    Welcome to Indusladies!

    Finding an Indian cook in London should not be difficult but I'm not sure about a south indian cook in particular. No idea about agencies for them but the best place to look for such services would be local indian / asian grocery shops and temples.

    Hope this helps.

    Hey Manaswini,

    Europe's visa system is as complicated as any other country's with loads of tiers under every category.:spin

    There should be come category of visa which employs people with a specific skill set not found in UK e.g 'Tamilian/Keralite cook specialized in Indian food'.Hmm..even the home office will not disagree on allowing someone from India to fill this job opening :thumbsup

    Though I agree how do domestic cooks cross the border ?

    Very intersting Sabitha. Thanks for the info. Usually, over here, when you see someone working in an Indian store, it's almost always a relative of someone who is a GC holder or citizen. Of course, there are exceptions to that. Just wondering cuz I've seen and heard about people filling in the "Indian" cook positions in a household.
