Charity Worker Visa - New Immigration Route
In today's video I will be addressing a new visa route which has recently been introduced. The new visa category is named as Charity worker visa which is a branch of the Temporary worker visa category.
The UK Temporary Worker visa has multiple categories to facilitate foreigners coming to the UK to undertake employment or unpaid voluntary work. One subcategory under the Temporary Work route is the Charity Worker visa which enables migrants to work for registered UK charities.
Just like other visa schemes, the applicant has to meet certain eligibility and financial requirements to score sufficient points under the new Point-Based System (PBS).
What is a Charity worker visa?
UK Charity Worker visa allows overseas charity workers to undertake voluntary roles for a Home Office-approved charitable organisation. The volunteer would not be offered a salary or wages for their services. The applicant will mainly participate in activities that contribute to the growth and advancement of the UK sponsoring charity.
Under this visa, there are certain limitations that should be kept in mind, in essence, it does not lead to permanent settlement after expiry of the visa.
Eligibility Requirements
The applicant has to meet several requirements in order to qualify for the Charity Worker visa. The requirements to be met are:
The charity worker visa applicant is over the age of 18 years at the date of the application;
They have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from the employer of the charity that holds a UK sponsor licence;
The applicant genuinely intends to undertake the voluntary role for free related to the sponsor organisation;
They have the minimum funds required to support their stay in the UK;
The applicant did not have leave to remain as a Charity Worker or Religious Worker for the past 12 months;
The volunteer satisfies the suitability requirements;
Provision of TB certificate, if required.
What is Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)?
The applicant must receive a job offer from the licensed employer and is assigned a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) by the employer. CoS will contain all the information about the voluntary role, working hours, etc.
It is vital to note that the Applicant for the Charity Worker visa must apply within 3 months of the issuance of a certificate of sponsorship.
