Youth Mobility Visa (UK Tier 5 Visa)
A Youth Mobility Visa, or a Tier 5 visa, as it is also called, enables individuals to gain entry and work in the United Kingdom in a variety of different situations.
Individuals who come from one of the countries that are listed under the Youth Mobility Scheme can enter the United Kingdom without having a job offer as opposed to the other categories that fall under the Tier 5 visa, such as Government Authorised Exchange, Charity Workers Scheme, International Agreement, Creative and Sporting Scheme, etc., where individuals are required to possess a job offer from a licensed sponsor in addition to passing a points-based assessment.
The Youth Mobility Scheme is an ideal solution for the youth who are looking forward to residing and finding employment in the United Kingdom.
