What is the difference between a work permit and a working holiday visa?
The work permit visa is an employer specific work permit designed for professionals, executives or highly skilled persons who bring value to the UK and their employer. There is no age limit for work permits. Compared to a work permit, a Working Holiday Visa allows Commonwealth citizens aged between 17-30 years to stay in the UK for a maximum of two years. Working Holiday Visa holders must intend to take employment for no more than 12 months as part of their two year working holiday.
