Minister of Religion Visa

About Minister of Religion Visa

The Minister of Religion Visa is for individuals coming to the UK to take up a role within a faith-based organisation, such as a minister of religion, missionary or member of a religious order. The route requires sponsorship by a licensed religious organisation and that you meet eligibility criteria including English language and the genuine nature of the role. RakLAW advises both applicants and sponsoring organisations, making sure the application reflects the role accurately and is supported by strong evidence, and helping with extensions, family applications and settlement where appropriate.

  • Families joining a Minister of Religion
