START YOUR ADVENTURE!

Applying for the Work Britain Visa Kick Start program is easy! All you need to do is follow these steps to start your working holiday of a lifetime.

Step 1

Apply online:

Start your online Work Britain Kick Start application here.

Step 2

Welcome Phone Call:

After payment is made we will give you a call to welcome you to the program and answer any questions you may have. Then we can move on to the next step of the application.

Step 3

Visa application:

After the welcome phone call you will be sent the UK visa guidelines for either the youth mobility or ancestry visa (your choice).

We will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to complete the application. You will fill in your details, pay the visa fee and book a biometrics appointment (fingerprints and eye scan)

Before you attend your biometrics appointment IEP will review your application and supporting documents to make sure there are no errors and then let you know you are ready to attend your biometrics appointment.

NOTE: If UK Visas and Immigration finds an error on your application they will deny your application and not disclose where the error was made. You will have to re-submit the application and pay the visa fee again. IEP GUARANTEES you get the visa on the first go!

Criminal Record Form

If you have ever been arrested, convicted or given diversion you will need to obtain a police check and additional documents to support your application. IEP will be able to advise how you should go about obtaining these.

Step 4

Support Docs

You will be sent some support documentation outlining how to open a bank account, obtain a tax file number and links on where to find accommodation and employment.

Step 5

Work Visa Issued

Depending on where you have your biometrics appointment, your passport will be returned back to you by the UK Border Agency or you will be able to pick it up. You will need to send IEP a copy of your work visa. We ask you to do this so we can review it to make sure it is issued for the right duration of time.

Step 6

Insurance:

Now that you have the work visa you will need to get travel insurance to cover you for your time overseas. IEP has comprehensive policies on offer. For a quote please contact us at [email protected]
