The Temporary Seasonal Worker visa is intended for individuals who plan to come to the UK to undertake short-term work in seasonal sectors, primarily agriculture.
The Temporary Seasonal Worker visa is intended for individuals who plan to come to the UK to undertake short-term work in seasonal sectors, primarily agriculture. This visa allows workers to fill temporary labour shortages during peak seasons, supporting industries that rely on seasonal employment.
It is a time-limited visa that does not lead to settlement but permits workers to legally perform specified seasonal jobs in the UK for a defined period.
This visa route enables employers in certain sectors, such as horticulture and farming, to sponsor overseas workers to meet seasonal labour demands.
It is designed to cover short-term, temporary roles during busy periods like harvest time.
The visa is valid for the length of the employment period, up to a maximum of 6 months.
Applicants must have a valid sponsorship from a UK employer licensed to recruit Temporary Seasonal Workers. The employer must provide a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) confirming the nature of the job, pay rate, and duration of employment. Permitted roles under this visa include:
Fruit picking and harvesting.
Crop tending and planting.
Other seasonal agricultural tasks.
To be eligible for this visa, applicants need to satisfy these conditions:
Hold a valid Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed UK sponsor for an approved seasonal role.
The job must be genuinely temporary and seasonal in nature, with the visa issued for up to 6 months.
Meet the required minimum wage for the role, as set by UK immigration standards.
Demonstrate they have enough funds to support themselves during their stay unless the sponsor certifies maintenance on the CoS.
Intend to leave the UK once the employment period ends.
Comply with any English language requirements if applicable.
Applicants must prove they can support themselves financially during their stay by either:
Showing evidence of savings of at least £1,270 held for 28 consecutive days before applying.
Having their sponsor certify financial maintenance on their behalf in the Certificate of Sponsorship.
The visa is typically issued for a period of up to 6 months to cover the seasonal employment duration.
Dependants such as spouses or children are not eligible to accompany the main visa holder under the Temporary Seasonal Worker scheme.
