Youth Mobility Scheme Visa

About Youth Mobility Scheme Visa

The Youth Mobility Scheme Visa is for young people from participating countries and territories who want to experience life in the UK by living and working here for a limited period. It is an unsponsored route, giving you the freedom to take a wide range of jobs, study or be self-employed within the rules. Eligibility depends on your nationality, age and meeting the financial and other requirements. RakLAW advises eligible applicants on the application process, ballot systems where relevant and what to do once you arrive in the UK.
