Charity Worker visa (Temporary Work)
Apply
Read the full guidance before you apply.
Apply from outside the UK
You must apply online for this visa.
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:
- 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
- have your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) taken at a visa application centre
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.
Apply from inside the UK
You can only extend your existing visa if you’re already in the UK.
