OVERSEAS DOMESTIC WORKER VISA TO THE UK

The Domestic Worker visa category allows overseas employers to bring their domestic workers with them when visiting or moving to the United Kingdom. Domestic workers in private households can include cleaners, chauffeurs, gardeners, cooks, nannies and carers. They must be employed in the UK in the employer's house or in a house that they use regularly.

OVERSEAS DOMESTIC WORKER VISA ENTITLEMENTS

Successful applicants will initially be given permission to live in the UK for a maximum of 12 months. Subject to meeting certain legal requirements, the UK Border Agency may extend their permission to stay for additional 12 month periods. Once they have completed five (5) years stay in the UK as an Overseas Domestic Worker, they will be able to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). ILR entitles individuals to permanent residency as well as visa-free travel to and from the UK . ILR holders may also be able to sponsor their non-British relatives to the UK and may also ultimately be eligible to acquire British nationality.
