Important T5 Visa Information for 2021
From 1 January 2021, all non-UK nationals – including EU citizens (except citizens of Ireland) will need a UK visa to take up seasonal work in Britain.
If you, or your family member(s) are a citizen(s) of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, and started living in the UK prior to 1 January 2021, you could be eligible for the free EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS).
The EUSS exempts you from needing a UK visa to remain in the country. You have up until 30 June 2021 to apply for the scheme.
If you do not qualify for the EU Settlement Scheme you will need a visa to work temporarily in the UK.
If you are looking to hire EU and non-EU staff for seasonal work, you will need a Temporary Worker Sponsorship Licence, which will enable you to hire temporary, non-UK workers.
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, entry to the UK is subject to the current government guidelines.
