UK Youth Mobility Scheme Guide (2026)

Live, work, and build an international career in London and across the UK for up to 3 years.

The UK Youth Mobility Scheme (YMS) is widely regarded as one of the most flexible working visas in the world. Unlike standard working holiday visas with strict 6-month employer limits, the YMS allows you to work full-time in professional, corporate, creative, or tech roles in global hubs like London and Edinburgh without switching employers.
