Business Health and Care Worker Visa

What can I do in the UK on a Health and Care Worker visa?

We’ve listed below what you’ll be able to do on this specific visa:

• be able to work (providing your job is eligible)
• study
• have your family travel and stay with you (they may also be known as your ‘dependants’). If they’re planning to join you, you’ll need to check that they’re also eligible.
• carry out additional work in certain circumstances
• carry out voluntary work
• travel to other countries and return back to the UK
• apply to make the UK your permanent home (don’t forget, you’re only able to do this if you’ve lived in the UK for 5+ years and meet the additional eligibility requirements).

What can’t I do in the UK on a Health and Care Worker visa?

• apply for benefits (there may be some exceptions), or the State Pension
• move jobs or change employers without getting your visa updated 

We understand there’s a lot of information there. So don’t worry, if your application is approved, you’ll get a full list of what you’re able to do in the UK on this visa.
