Although you are over the age of 30, it doesn't mean that it is too late for you to travel. In fact, the UK has developed a unique visa program that will allow you to travel to the UK for an extended period of time and work throughout your stay. The tier 1 UK visa program is one that allows people over the age of 30 to work and live in the UK, even if you don't have a job lined up for you when you get there.

There are, however, still requirements that need to be met and being over 30 is just one of them. You will also need to be competent in the English language and if you don't come from a country whose primary language is English, you will be required to prove your competency.

In addition, the tier 1 UK visa program requires that you have sufficient funds (2,800 British Pounds) in a bank, in your own name, before you arrive. In exchange, you will be given the ability to live in the UK for up to two years (with the possibility of extending the visit for three more years), and earn a living.

This is a particularly unique program because you do not need a job waiting for you when you arrive, and you are free to change jobs once you are there. You may choose, however, to use your tier 1 UK visa as a means to travel throughout the UK, working when and where you want to. For people who enjoy travelling and are looking for a long-term visa, this is the ideal way to visit the UK.
