Seasonal Worker visa (Temporary Work)
Apply
You must apply for a Seasonal Worker visa online.
As part of your application, you’ll need to prove your identity. How you do this depends on where you’re from and what type of passport you have.
You’ll either:
- have your fingerprints and photograph taken at a visa application centre
- use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to scan your identity document - you’ll also create or sign into your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account
You’ll be told what you need to do when you apply.
If you do need an appointment:
- you’ll need to take your passport with you to the visa application centre (you’ll be able to collect it on the day)
- you may have to travel to get to your nearest centre (this could be in another country)
You may be able to pay to get a faster decision.
If you have a child while you’re in the UK
If you have a child while you’re in the UK, they do not automatically become a British citizen.
You can apply online for their visa as your dependant. You must do this if you want to travel in and out of the UK with your child.
You’ll need to provide a full UK birth certificate for each child, showing the names of both parents.
