It is not permitted to extend beyond a total 2 years in the UK with this visa type, as was the case with the working holiday maker visa previously.

Unfortunately it is not possible to switch into the Youth Mobility visa from within the UK.

Do UK Youth Mobility Scheme visas lead to ILR?

Unfortunately, the UK Youth Mobility Scheme visa does not lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK. Following the maximum time permitted in the UK, you will usually be required to leave the country and you can apply for a further UK working holiday visa.

Can you bring your family as dependents?

Due to restrictions of the Youth Mobility visa, dependants are not permitted accompany the ‘main applicant’ to the UK. They must instead apply for a visa in a qualifying category.

Where should you apply for a Youth Mobility visa?

Initial visa applications of this work type must be made from abroad, either from your country of nationality or legal residence. It is not permitted to switch into the Youth Mobility visa from within the UK.

UKVI aim to process visas as follows:

Visa applications submitted outside of the UK:

Standard processing: 15 working days
Priority Service processing: 5 working days

Important: UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) do not guarantee processing times and delays do occur. We advise that you do not book any non refundable travel until your visa has been approved and your work visa is in your possession. Priority services can be suspended without notice and may not be available at the time of application.

How much does the visa cost?

The UKVI application fee is £298. In addition, you will need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), which is £776 per year for the visa duration.

Our professional fee will depend on the level of service you require.
