Visas: Voluntary Work
(asked on 27th April 2021) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason people who enter the UK on a visitor visa are unable to volunteer.
This question was answered on 29th April 2021
Visitors to the UK can undertake a wide range of activities, including volunteering. The volunteering should last no more than 30 days in total and be for a charity registered with either the Charity Commission for England and Wales; the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland; or the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.
Undertaking voluntary work for longer periods of time is provided for in the Temporary Worker – Charity Worker route of the points-based system.
