You can spend your entire life living in your home country, or you can
enjoy life in a different setting, where the weather is different, the
food is unique, and the people have very different backgrounds than you.
The thought of going to the UK and spending time there, living and
working, is something many Commonwealth citizens think of and thanks to
the Youth Mobility scheme, it is now easily possible.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 30 and have always wanted to live in London, then the Youth Mobility is an easy way for you to do so. The requirements are simple, and assuming you are approved for the visa, you will be free to live and work anywhere in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) for up to two years. You can work where you want, and you won’t have to work “under the table”.
For people who are more interested in travelling around the countryside and seeing the different regions of the UK, the Youth Mobility visa program is also perfect. There are no restrictions on the number of jobs you may have, the amount of earnings, or what types of jobs. You also don’t need to have a pre-approved job or a sponsor waiting for you. Just start travelling and work your way around the country!
You will need to have the equivalent of 1,600GBP in a bank account in your name, and be able to travel without any dependents. In addition, you may not have travelled throughout the UK before if you are going to apply for this visa. That being said, most people who do apply are approved and within a month of application, you will be free to book your flight and let the adventure of a lifetime begin.
