Let's talk
Bottom's up
영국 워킹홀리데이는 영어 종주국, 2년간 영국에 체류할 수 있는 장점이 있습니다. 그리고 유럽 국가 중 한국인 비율이 상대적으로 낮고, 유럽 내 다른 국가로 여행이 편리합니다. 영어연수⋅일⋅여행을 모두 고려하는 워홀러들이 선호하는 국가입니다.

About the visa

Who and for how long
To do a working holiday in the UK, you must have the ‘right to work’ via either a two-year UK Youth Mobility Scheme visa (formerly known as the Tier 5 visa) or five-year UK Ancestry visa.
Both visa processes consist of an online application and in-person biometrics appointment. JENZA is here to advise you throughout, but all forms and payments are submitted directly to UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI).
To be eligible for the two-year UK Youth Mobility Scheme visa, you must be:
You must enter the UK within six months of your visa application being accepted
To be eligible for the five-year UK Ancestry visa, you must be:
Be able to show that you can and plan to work in the UK, and can maintain and accommodate yourself without access to public funds
*It’s mandatory for anyone staying in the UK for six months or more to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). This entitles you to use the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.

Where and what you can do
The UK Youth Mobility Scheme visa is one of the most flexible working holiday visas. Other than working as a professional sportsperson (darn, that’s your fencing career down the drain), you can pretty much do any job for up to 24 months – giving you the option of casual backpacker work or more career-related roles. You can also set up your own limited company to work as a freelancer or on a self-employed basis.
If you’re looking to do casual work, hospitality and retail jobs are easy to come by – with pubs, bars, cafés and restaurants currently crying out for bar staff, runners, chefs and baristas. You can expect to be paid the minimum or living wage (this varies depending on your age between £7.49 and £10.42 an hour) or above – especially in London where salaries are higher. It’s customary in the UK for a 10-12.5% tip to be added to a bill, which should also be split between staff (although this depends on your employer).
You can also work in industries related to your career, education or trade, where the sky’s literally the limit. Here your earning potential will be much higher, especially as you can work for two years with the same employer to really build up your career and connections.

JENZA Work UK inclusions
Everything you need to get your visa, get hired and get on the plane – with one-on-one support from people who’ve been.
Pre-departure inclusions
Expert advice from people who’ve been
Your working holiday ride or die, our JENZA Support Squad have all worked the world so can give you firsthand advice on moving abroad. As well as being a geeky bunch of travel nerds and visa whisperers, we're also all mental health awareness trained. Which means we know how to connect like humans – not customer service bots.
On top of being at the other end of an email or video call throughout the booking process, we also include a group call with a live Q&A before you go to answer all your questions.
Visa inclusions
Visa application support
UKVI doesn't allow us to apply for your visa on your behalf, but we're with you the whole way – with the correct forms, step-by-step guides and one-on-one calls to ensure your application is on track.
The two-year Youth Mobility Scheme visa fee is currently £298 and the five-year UK Ancestry visa fee is currently £637 – both are paid directly to UKVI. You must also attend a biometrics appointment at a designated biometrics centre to have your photo and fingerprints taken, the cost of this is included in your visa fee.
The process for a Youth Mobility Scheme visa can take around three weeks, with a UK Ancestry visa taking longer due to the additional ancestry documentation required.
Job inclusions
Unlimited pre-vetted working holiday jobs
We include the option to pre-arrange a job before you go, plus unlimited working holiday jobs on the road. It's how we work.
Our Dream Jobs team scour the planet finding employers who are looking to take on working holidaymakers right now. They’re pre-vetted to make sure everything is legit, and as soon as you’ve paid your full payment, you’ll get access to our JENZA Job Hub where you can start searching and interviewing for jobs.
If you want to sort a job before you go, we work with some of the UK’s top hospitality employers, such as Dishoom. (Pretty much the only way to get in there without an hour’s queue is to work there!). The cost of living in the UK can be high, so we also try and source seasonal employers such as activity holiday centres that include subsidised staff accommodation – also great if you’re an outdoors rather than an office person.
If you’d rather wait until you land, your arrival orientation in London includes job and CV advice from the JENZA team. You’ll also have access to the Job Hub for your whole visa.

What our Work UK roadtester had to say
Before you’re even let loose on one of our JENZA experiences, it’s roadtested by either a JENZA ambassador or member of our Youth Advisory Panel. Because if it didn’t fly with them, it’s sure as heck not going to fly with you. Here’s Tamara’s top tips on moving from Toronto to London.
