The Temporary Charity Worker visa is intended for individuals coming to the UK to engage in voluntary or charitable activities for a limited duration.
The Temporary Charity Worker visa is intended for individuals coming to the UK to engage in voluntary or charitable activities for a limited duration. This visa allows UK-based charitable organisations to sponsor overseas volunteers who will contribute to their charitable projects or operations.
This visa is for temporary stays and does not provide a route to permanent residency. It is designed to assist charities in fulfilling short-term volunteer or support roles.
This visa category enables registered charitable organisations in the UK to sponsor foreign nationals to undertake unpaid voluntary work or other charity-related activities for a set period.
The visa typically permits employment or voluntary work in the UK for up to 12 months.
Applicants must be sponsored by a UK charity registered with the Charity Commission and licensed to employ Temporary Charity Workers. The sponsor must issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) that verifies the applicant's role and duration of voluntary service. Eligible roles include:
Volunteering in charity projects or initiatives.
Supporting charitable operations and community services.
Other unpaid activities directly related to the charity's work.
To be eligible for this visa, applicants must satisfy the following criteria:
Have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship from a UK-licensed charitable organisation.
The role must be temporary and directly linked to charitable activities.
The visa is usually granted for a maximum of 12 months.
Applicants should demonstrate sufficient funds to support themselves or have their maintenance certified by their sponsor.
Commitment to leave the UK once the charity work concludes.
Meet any applicable English language requirements.
Applicants need to provide evidence that they can cover their living expenses during their stay, either by:
Showing personal savings of at least £1,270 held for 28 consecutive days before the visa application.
Having their sponsor confirm financial support on the Certificate of Sponsorship.
The Temporary Charity Worker visa is generally issued for a period of up to 12 months to match the length of the voluntary role.
Extensions may be granted in limited circumstances but require meeting Home Office guidelines and visa conditions.
Family members, including spouses or children, may apply to accompany or join the main visa holder while they remain in the UK.
