The UK’s new Youth Mobility Scheme Visa (formerly known as the Tier 5 – Youth Mobility Visa)
Want to teach in the UK and don’t have a visa? The Youth Mobility Scheme Visa could be for you!
What is a Youth Mobility Visa?
- YMV is a two year Working Holiday Visa which Aussies, Kiwis and Canadians can apply for (with the option to extend for a third year). There are a few other nationalities that are also eligible.
- You can lodge your application up to six months prior to your desired visa start date.
- Visa application fee is £298 and the Immigration Health Surcharge is £776 per year (£1552 for the two years).
- Your Immigration Health Surcharge covers the NHS (health system). This means that you can go see a doctor at no charge and entitles you to cheaper dental treatment (if it is an NHS covered practice).
- You must have GBP2530 in savings available for at least 28 consecutive days (this is the maintenance funds requirement).
Are you eligible?
- You must be aged 18 to 35 if you are on an Australian, New Zealand or Canadian passport.
- Never entered the UK previously on the YMS visa.
- Have no dependents.

- We will assess your application and make sure that you have all the relevant information needed for your application to be successful.

What other visa options are available?
- If you have British grandparents you may be eligible for a UK Ancestry visa, which our Visa Support Team can also help you apply for. For more info on the Ancestry visa, please click here.
- If you aren’t eligible for the YMS visa or the Ancestry visa, we may be able to assist with the process of securing a Skilled Worker Visa. This process is explained in the following blog. (Please note: our Visa Support cannot assist with the application of this visa).
- Of course, if you have a British Passport or ability to apply for a Spousal Visa, then you will have working rights in the UK.
