Work Visa for England

To be eligible for an England work visa, the applicant must have an offer of employment from a UK business willing to sponsor them. In addition, the position must be featured on government’s shortage occupations list; a register of skills not currently filled by British residents and therefore open for international recruitment via a work visa for England. If the position is not on the list then it is still possible to obtain a visa if the employer can prove that they cannot fill the job locally. To demonstrate this, the company must advertise the opening for at least 28 days, if no UK candidate is suitable then the applicant can start the England working visa process.

Working Holiday Visa for England

Working holiday visas fall under the UK’s Youth Mobility Scheme (tier five). A program set up to allow young people to live and work in England as part of their travels, for a limited period. To be eligible for this category of England work visa the applicant must be between 18 and 31 years of age and from one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco and New Zealand. In addition, the applicant must have at least £1600 in their bank account which is considered sufficient funds to survive for a month while the person is waiting for their first pay check. Upon receiving their working visa for England the holder is entitled to work in the UK in certain professions for up to 24 months. Find out further information on our UK Visitor Visa page.
