CHARITY WORKER VISA
Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “What kind of charity work am I allowed to do under this visa?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
12.09.2025 14:17:11 To provide a detailed answer, I would need to know the specific type of visa you are referring to, as different countries and visa categories have varying rules regarding charity work. However, here are some general guidelines: 1. **Tourist Visa**: Typically, tourist visas do not permit any kind of work, including unpaid charity or volunteer work. However, short-term volunteering might be allowed depending on the country. 2. **Student Visa**: Many student visas allow for limited hours of part-time work, which can include paid or unpaid charity work. Check your visa conditions for specifics. 3. **Work Visa**: If you hold a work visa, you may be able to engage in charity work outside of your primary employment if it doesn't interfere with your job responsibilities and complies with local regulations. 4. **Visitor Visa**: Some visitor visas permit short-term voluntary activities but usually restrict any form of paid employment. 5. **Special Volunteer Visas**: Some countries offer specific volunteer visas that allow individuals to enter the country specifically for the purpose of engaging in charitable or volunteer activities. It's crucial to consult the immigration department or legal resources pertaining to the country you're interested in for precise information about what is permissible under your specific visa type. Violating visa conditions can lead to serious consequences such as fines, deportation, or being barred from re-entry.
16.09.2025 13:22:39 Under a Charity Worker visa, you are only permitted to carry out unpaid voluntary work for a UK-registered charity that holds a sponsor licence from the Home Office. The role must be genuine voluntary service that contributes to the charity’s objectives and cannot be a disguised form of paid employment. Typical activities may include helping with fundraising, administrative support, community outreach, assisting in care projects, or other duties essential to the charity’s work. You cannot take on any paid work, whether part-time or full-time, and you are not allowed to engage in self-employment or freelance activities. The only financial support you may receive is reimbursement of reasonable expenses (such as travel or meals directly linked to your volunteering). Your visa will specify the sponsoring charity, and you must work only in the role described in your Certificate of Sponsorship. Working for another organisation, even voluntarily, is not permitted.
17.09.2025 13:14:56 Under a Charity Worker visa, you are allowed to do unpaid voluntary work for a UK-registered charity that holds a Home Office sponsor licence. The work must directly relate to the charity’s core activities and cannot replace paid employment. Typical roles may include community outreach, assisting with fundraising events, administrative or support duties, helping with social care projects, or other services that advance the charity’s mission. You cannot take any form of paid employment, set up a business, or work in a role that would normally be a paid job. The only financial support permitted is reimbursement of reasonable expenses, such as meals, accommodation, or travel related to your voluntary duties. Your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) must clearly describe your role, location, and duration, and you must work only for the sponsoring charity in the role specified. Any additional work, even unpaid, with another organisation is not permitted.
