Youth Mobility Scheme
The UK’s Youth Mobility scheme is an amazing cultural exchange program that enables young candidates from participating countries, between the ages of 18 and 30 (or up to 35 in some circumstances), to experience life in the UK for up to 24 months.
You can live, study, work in most jobs, or even run your own business in the UK while you have a youth mobility visa that is valid for two years.
Who can Apply for the Youth Mobility Scheme?
Remember that to apply for a Youth Mobility Scheme visa, citizens of Hong Kong (with a SAR passport), Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan must first cast a ballot. However, you are not needed to vote if you are a British national abroad, a citizen of a British overseas territory, or a British overseas citizen.
Remember that there exists a separate ballot if you want to apply for the India Young Professional Scheme and you are an Indian citizen.
How to Enter the Youth Mobility Scheme Ballot
Don’t forget to cast your ballot. Within the allotted 48-hour period, you will need to send an email. Keep in mind that each application is limited to one ballot entry.
This is your chance to visit the UK and increase your career options. There is no way this chance should be passed up. On the official Youth Mobility scheme page of the UK home office, you can get all the information you need.
