What is the Youth Mobility Scheme Visa UK?

The Youth Mobility Scheme visa is for young people from participating countries and territories who want to live in the UK for up to two years (or three years if they are from Australia, Canada, or New Zealand).

The application process is simple, and those who are successful can remain in the UK for up to two years. Then, people who want to stay longer in the UK can apply for a different type of visa, like a student visa, a skilled worker visa, or a UK start-up visa.

With the Youth Mobility Scheme UK visa, you can do the following:

  • Stay in the UK for up to two years
  • You can leave and return to the UK anytime during your stay.
  • As long as you have this visa, you can do a lot of different kinds of work.
  • Study
  • You must be self-employed and set up a business in the UK. You are not allowed to have workers, your space must be rented, and you cannot have more than £5,000 worth of equipment.

If you are in the UK on a Youth Mobility Scheme visa and turn 31 while you are there, you will still be able to stay for the rest of your visa.

The Youth Mobility Scheme Visa is a UK visa category designed for young people from participating countries and territories to live, work, and travel in the UK for up to two years. This visa is part of the UK’s efforts to promote cultural exchange and provides an opportunity for young adults to experience life in the UK.
You can apply for the Youth Mobility Scheme visa if you are a young adult from a participating country or territory and are planning to spend two years in the United Kingdom.

The Youth Mobility Scheme visa route is not open to dependents and it is not a route that leads directly to indefinite stay in the UK. Youth Mobility Scheme visa holders may, however, be able to switch into a route that leads to settlement in the UK from within the UK.
