What is the Youth Mobility Scheme Visa ? The Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) Visa allows young people aged 18 to 30 from participating countries to live, work, and experience life in the UK for up to 2 years. This visa provides a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and temporary employment without requiring sponsorship. Learn how to apply for a visa to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years if you’re aged 18 to 30 or 35. Find out the eligibility requirements, fees, documents, and extension options. The UK Home Office has confirmed that the second ballot for the 2025 Youth Mobility Scheme will open on 15 July and will close on 17 July 2025. This is your chance to be selected for a visa that lets you experience life in the UK — work, study, travel, and even start your own business. Most Youth Mobility visa holders can remain in the UK for 24 months. Citizens of Australia, Canada and New Zealand may extend their stay for an additional 12 months, bringing the maximum stay to three years. Holders may enter and leave the UK freely during the visa period.
