Charity Worker Visa

23.09.2025 22:00:48 Yes, you need a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to apply for a Charity Worker Visa in the UK. The CoS is an electronic record issued by your sponsoring organization, which must be a registered charity in the UK with a valid sponsorship license. This certificate contains a unique reference number that you will need to include in your visa application. It confirms that the charity has offered you unpaid voluntary work and that you meet the requirements for this visa category. Make sure your sponsor provides you with this certificate before you apply for the visa.

24.09.2025 11:14:45 As a lawyer, I can clarify: yes, to apply for a UK Charity Worker visa you must have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) issued by a licensed sponsor organisation in the UK. Only registered charities or organisations approved by the Home Office with a sponsor licence can provide this certificate. The CoS is an electronic reference number that outlines details of your unpaid role, the duration of your placement (up to 12 months), and confirms that the position meets visa requirements. Without this certificate, you cannot submit a valid application. In addition, you must show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself (usually at least £1,270 in savings unless the sponsor covers your costs), provide a valid passport, TB test results if applicable, and pay the visa fee plus Immigration Health Surcharge. The sponsorship certificate is central to the process, as it legally ties your visa to the specific charitable role and organisation in the UK.

24.09.2025 11:27:26 As a lawyer, I confirm: yes, a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from a licensed UK charity or organisation is mandatory for the Charity Worker visa. Only employers registered with the Home Office as approved sponsors can issue this certificate. The CoS is an electronic reference number that details your unpaid voluntary role, its duration (up to 12 months), and confirms compliance with visa rules. Without it, your application cannot be processed. In addition, you must show sufficient funds to support yourself (normally at least £1,270 in savings unless the sponsor certifies maintenance), provide a valid passport, TB test results if required, and pay the visa fee plus Immigration Health Surcharge. The CoS links your visa directly to the sponsoring charity, meaning you can only perform the unpaid role specified. Engaging in paid work is strictly prohibited and may result in cancellation of your visa.
