Eligibility

To be eligible for the UK Working Holiday Visa, you must:

  • Be between the ages of 18 and 30.
  • Possess a valid passport from one of the eligible countries.
  • Not have any dependent children.
  • Not have previously held a UK Working Holiday Visa or Youth Mobility Visa.
  • Disclose any criminal convictions.
  • Refrain from setting up your own business or providing professional sports or medical services while in the UK.
  • Not be accompanied by any family members or dependents. However, spouses/partners of UK Youth Mobility Scheme applicants can join them as dependents if they qualify and obtain either the YMS visa or a different visa.


The UK Youth Mobility Scheme offers travelers the chance to enjoy a 24-month holiday in the UK while having the freedom to work in any job they desire.

Additionally, participants can enter and leave the country as many times as they like during this period.

Moreover, individuals on this scheme are allowed to pursue privately funded studies and engage in voluntary work if they wish to do so.

  • It is worth noting that many working holidaymakers choose to continue their stay in the UK through other visa routes, such as obtaining a UK work permit, based on marriage, as an unmarried partner, or as a student, among other options.

  • The possibilities for extending your time in the UK are varied, making the experience even more rewarding for those who choose to explore different opportunities beyond the initial Youth Mobility Scheme.
