The Temporary Worker Visa (T5) is a work visa that grants you permission to work in the UK Temporarily. Previously known as the Tier 5 Temporary Worker Visa, the T5 Visa has a number of different categories. The time that you can stay in the UK for on a Temporary Worker Visa varies depending on the category that you apply for and ranges from 6 months to 2 years.

You can apply for this visa if you want to come to the UK for temporary seasonal, sporting, religious or charity work as well as for work experience, training, or for an Overseas Government Language Programme, research or a fellowship through an approved government authorised exchange scheme.

Whilst in the UK on a Temporary Worker visa you will usually be able to work in the job described on your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), study, take a second job for up to 20 hours a week and bring certain family members with you as dependents.
