Working under Working Holidaymaker Visa category
- You can take on any part-time or full-time job as long as this is incidental to your holiday.
- You can pursue your career in the UK as long as this is a purely incidental part of your holiday.
- You will not be allowed to do business in the UK unless it is a very small business probably only employing yourself. If the business will involve commitments such as investment in premises or in expensive equipment, or require you to employ staff this is not permitted under the working holidaymaker scheme.
- You are not allowed to work as a professional sports person.
- You should be on holiday for at least one year out of the two year period on the working holidaymaker visa. You do not have to take this holiday all at once and you could, for example, decide to take this holiday at various times during the two years.
- You can switch to being a work permit holder after one year in the UK as long as the job is on the skills shortage list. However, you should note that work permits are normally only issued for high level jobs and where the employer can show that there is a shortage of people to fill the vacancy.
- If you are physically outside the UK you may have a greater choice of visa categories for entry to the UK.
