India Young Professionals Scheme Visa

About India Young Professionals Scheme Visa

The India Young Professionals Scheme Visa is a dedicated route for young Indian nationals who want to live and work in the UK for a limited period. Places are allocated through a ballot system, and successful candidates can then apply for the visa. The route is unsponsored, allowing you to take a wide range of jobs, study or be self-employed within the rules. RakLAW advises eligible applicants on the ballot, the application stage and your options for switching into longer-term routes if you wish to stay in the UK beyond this visa.

Who this is for

  • Young Indian nationals seeking UK work experience
  • Professionals wanting flexible, unsponsored UK work rights
  • Those planning a future career move to the UK
  • Applicants exploring UK life and culture

How RakLAW helps

  • Advise on eligibility before entering the ballot
  • Prepare your application once selected
  • Support switching into sponsored work routes later
  • Guide dependants and family considerations where relevant
