Learn About Applying for the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa Scheme

The Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme is actually the upgraded Holiday Working Visa. The main difference is people from the Commonwealth countries can no longer apply. The applicant must be between the ages of 18 and 30, as this is the ideal age for studying or working abroad. The country of your residence will sponsor your application, making it easier to get accepted.

There are several requirements for applying for the visa. You need at least 1600 GBP in your own bank account and cannot be responsible for any dependents under the ages of 18 years. If you have already been a part of the Working Holiday Visa or in the current UK Youth visa program, you will not be accepted.

If you are accepted, you have the ability to work in the UK for up to two years. It means you can go to school or gain experience in your desired occupation. However, you cannot be self-employed, work as a professional athlete, or be a doctor-in-training. Once you come, you cannot apply for permanent residence.

The application process is far from easy and acceptance isn't automatic. This is why many people hire an agency to help them complete the process. If you use the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa service, you get help with all the applications and biometric scanning appointment. You are assisted through each step and everything is reviewed, making sure it is done correctly.
