Charity worker visa

25.08.2025 17:59:39 When deciding between the Charity Worker Visa and the Standard Visitor Visa for a six-month stay in the UK to participate in charity projects, it's important to consider the nature of your activities and your intentions during your stay. 1. **Charity Worker Visa (Temporary Work - Charity Worker):** - This visa is specifically designed for individuals coming to the UK to do unpaid voluntary work for a charity. - It requires sponsorship from a licensed UK sponsor, which means you need a Certificate of Sponsorship from a registered charity. - It's suitable if you're planning to engage in more structured or long-term voluntary work with a specific charity. - The visa can be granted for up to 12 months, allowing you some flexibility beyond six months if needed. 2. **Standard Visitor Visa:** - This visa allows you to visit the UK for tourism, business meetings, short courses, or unpaid volunteering for up to 30 days with a registered charity. - If your primary purpose is tourism or visiting friends/family and volunteering is secondary or incidental, this might be appropriate. - It does not require sponsorship but is limited in terms of how much volunteering you can do. Given that you plan to participate primarily in charity projects for six months, the Charity Worker Visa may be more suitable as it aligns better with your intention of engaging in extended voluntary work. However, ensure that you have secured sponsorship from a recognized UK charity before applying. Always check the latest immigration rules on the official UK government website or consult with an immigration advisor to make an informed decision based on current regulations.

26.08.2025 13:35:42 Якщо ви плануєте перебувати у Великій Британії протягом шести місяців з метою волонтерської діяльності, оптимальним вибором буде саме Charity Worker Visa, а не Standard Visitor Visa. Поясню: туристична (Standard Visitor) дозволяє займатися волонтерством лише до 30 днів і не може бути основною метою поїздки. Натомість Charity Worker Visa спеціально передбачена для неоплачуваної благодійної роботи, надається на строк до 12 місяців, вимагає від приймаючої організації ліцензії спонсора та надання вам Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). Це зменшує ризик відмови та відповідає вашій заявленій цілі перебування.

26.08.2025 14:57:14 Yes, in your case the Charity Worker Visa would be the correct route. The Standard Visitor Visa only permits short-term, incidental volunteering, usually linked to specific events or very limited activities, and it cannot be used for structured, long-term charity work. Since you plan to stay in the UK for up to six months and actively participate in organised charity projects, you will need a Charity Worker Visa. This visa is issued on the basis of a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from a UK-licensed charity sponsor, confirming your role and duration of service. It allows you to volunteer for up to 12 months (or the period stated in your CoS) and is designed exactly for the type of activity you describe.
