  • UK working-holiday visas

    My last post on the Danish mentality actually got me thinking that I should try other playing fields...see if the grass is greener. There's lots of lovely things about Copenhagen...salaries are high, the city is MY HOME!, but the people...*shudder shiver spasm*.

    I've always had the UK working-holiday scheme at the back of my head, and will now take advantage of it, but I'm not sure if most folks are aware of its existence. Thought I'd post it here just in case someone else needs some inspiration.

    Requirements
    • You must be single, or married to someone also eligible for a working holiday visa and plan to take a working holiday with you.
    • You must not have dependent children aged five or over during your stay in the UK.
    • You must show proof of sufficient funds in your bank account. UK Immigration does not specify how much 'sufficient funds' are. However, the idea is to show that you won't get into financial trouble and rely on public funds to support you. You can do this best by having approximately 2500 GBP (AUS$6000) and a return ticket. If you only have a one-way ticket, you will need to have more funds in your bank account.
    Validity: 2 years
    Eligibility: you are eligible to apply for a UK working holiday visa if you are a citizen of a Commonwealth country and are aged between 17 and 30 years inclusively.
