The UK has updated things as far as the UK tier 5 visa is concerned. This visa is the last one on the five-point system, and this covers employment in the UK as well as students and training. With this form of visa, you are allowed to live and reside in the UK for up to two years. There are limitations with this visa, but getting one can be either easy or hard, depending on how much attention you pay when you're applying.
A UK tier 5 visa covers youth workers who are between the ages of 18 and 30. They are allowed to be there for a time frame of two years, and once there, they can explore the different parts of the UK while working. If you are looking at getting one of these visas, your country has to be in agreement with the UK as far as the holiday working agreement. Commonwealth places as well as British territories have access to this form of visa as well.
For any youth worker who comes to the UK on this form of visa, they are not going to have to then switch their visa to a lower tier unless they leave the country, and these visas cannot be renewed, either.
If you are interested in applying for a UK tier 5 visa, there are online forms that you can fill out that can help you determine your eligibility before you go and do the real deal. You are also going to be able to see the documentation you are going to need to take as well as how to complete a VAF9.
Once you have applied for the UK tier 5 visa, you may be waiting a few weeks. This time frame can all depend on how the application is filled out and on whether you missed anything. The average wait time, though, is about three weeks or, at most, four to five.
Always make sure that when you try and apply for a visa, you take your passport as well as your biometric details with you. You are also going to need a picture of you that is recent (there are also size requirements) and any other documentation explained in the tier 5 rules. If you are having trouble finding what you need, you can call the Internal Affairs office and ask them for advice on how to get what you need and where to go to find certain things.
