A person who will be taking part in a limited period of work in the UK will need to submit an application for a Tier 5 temporary work visa UK. There are several categories of Tier 5 work visa and it is important that the applicant chooses the correct form to fill in. For many of these categories it is essential that the worker has a solid job offer from their licensed sponsor in order to proceed with the visa application. The type of application depends on the job that the person intends to do in the UK.
Athletes
For musicians, entertainers, professional athletes, actors and creative artists the correct approach is to apply under the creative and sporting Tier 5 worker visas. The applicant must have a verified sponsor and a valid sponsorship certificate in order to proceed with the application. For athletes and sportsmen and women, their sponsor must be endorsed by a recognised governing body of their relevant sport. When a person applies for a creative and sporting visa they are awarded a number of points that will be based on the sponsorship details and the funds available to the visa applicant.
When a sportsperson or creative worker is accepted for a temporary worker visa they are free to live and work in the UK for a maximum of 12 months, or for the period stated in the certificate of sponsorship, plus 28 days. For more detailed advice on the requirements of an athlete, many turn to our immigration law firm to help them through the process of applying to the UK Border Agency.
Charity workers
The charity worker sub-category of the Tier 5 temporary worker visa applies to people who are coming to the United Kingdom to do unpaid voluntary work. In order to make the application, the person must have a sponsor and a sponsorship certificate and the work must be directly related to the company that is sponsoring the worker. Immigration solicitors will help to guide the worker and organisation through a successful term of employment, and will oversee the application process to ensure all the boxes are ticked for a strong case.
Multiple entry certificates
For those who will have to leave the UK maybe several times during their allotted work visa period, a multiple entry certificate of sponsorship can be assigned to a person by their sponsor. If the initial period of the temporary visa is six months or less then the person cannot return after leaving the UK. An immigration lawyer would advise that the worker must reapply from abroad in order to re-enter the United Kingdom. Other sub-categories for a Tier 5 temporary worker visa include religious workers such as pastors, preachers, and general religious workers of various religions.
The Government Authorised Exchange category is for people who will enter the UK as part of recognised schemes that intend to educate on British culture and knowledge and various other subjects. A resident of the EEA (European Economic Area), or Swiss national, does not need to apply under the points based system. For further enquiries, contact our immigration lawyers.
