United Kingdom - flag United Kingdom - Work Skills & Ancestry - Tier 5 (Temporary Workers) Visa

The Temporary workers (Tier 5) Visa is available to those want to come to the United Kingdom to undertake short-term, temporary work. This category accommodates certain categories of temporary workers immigrating to the UK who do not qualify for a Sponsored Worker visa.

There are five subcategories of Temporary Worker:

- Creative and Sporting
- Charity Workers
- Religious Workers
- Government Authorised Exchange
- International Agreement.

TEMPORARY WORKERS (TIER 5) BASIC REQUIREMENTS

The basic requirement for this visa is to score a minimum of 40 points for ‘Certificate of Sponsorship' and available maintenance (funds).

In the first instance, a prospective sponsor will apply to the UK Border Agency in order to be granted a license. When successfully licensed, a sponsor can apply for a number of certificates of sponsorship, which they can then present to the people whom they intend to sponsor. Once a prospective employee has been allocated a certificate of sponsorship, he or she will be eligible to apply for UK entry clearance.

TEMPORARY WORKERS (TIER 5) VISA ENTITLEMENTS

The maximum duration of leave is 24 months and switching to other visa categories is not permitted. Eligible dependents will be admitted but will only be permitted to work in the UK if the principle applicant is afforded more than 12 months leave.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
