    Youth Mobility Scheme Application

    The Youth Mobility Scheme permits the youths from participating countries and territories who have been sponsored to work in the UK for two years and experience life there.

    In a temporary role, you will be permitted to work in the UK, with this visa and it is not needed for you to have a job offer before the application. Youth Mobility Visa holders are granted permission to study, work in most jobs, start up a company. They are even allowed to leave and re-enter the UK several times within their visas validity time period. 

    Although, with this visa no dependents can be brought with you, nor can you extend this type of visa in the UK.
