Overseas Domestic Worker Visa
About Overseas Domestic Worker Visa
The Overseas Domestic Worker Visa is for domestic workers accompanying their employer to the UK for a private household role, such as nannies, cleaners, cooks or carers. The route allows the worker to enter the UK for a limited period and carries important conditions, including protections against exploitation and modern slavery. Eligibility depends on the existing employment relationship and the nature of the role. RakLAW advises both domestic workers and employers, providing clear guidance on the application and on the worker's rights once in the UK.
