The Working Holiday Visa

The Working Holidaymaker scheme has recently been enhanced in a very positive way, removeing barriers to working in the UK.

You can now work full time in any chosen field, including your own career field, for the full 2 years of the visa. It is of course becoming a very popular scheme.
This allows those who might qualify in other areas to come to the UK and make a difference where it is needed in the working environment and to enjoy the country.

The basic rules are :

· you are aged between 17 and 30 years
· you are a commonwealth citizen [ see countries below ], British Dependent Territories citizen or British Overseas citizen 
· you want to come to the UK for an extended holiday and intend to take employment 
· you are single or are married to a person who also qualifies as a working holidaymaker and you plan to take the working holiday together 
· you do not have any dependent children who are aged five years or over, or who will be five before you complete your holiday 
· your holiday and not work is the main reason for your visit 
· you can support and accommodate yourself without help from public funds 
· you do not have any commitments which require a regular salary 
· you can pay for your onward or return journey 
· you plan to leave the UK at the end of your holiday
