What funds will I need to qualify as a working holidaymaker?

There is no specific amount of money that you must have in order to qualify for entry as a working holidaymaker. However, you must be able to show that you have enough money to pay for your return journey and also to pay for your accommodation and living expenses for at least the first two months after your arrival without recourse to public funds, or for at least one month if you have a job arranged in advance.

In order to establish how much money you will need we recommend that you make your own enquiries, for example through regional tourist offices or through UK websites, about the area in which you wish to stay. This will help you find out how much you are likely to have to spend on accommodation, travel and other basic living expenses. You will then have a clear idea of how much money you will need.

As you may enter the UK as a working holidaymaker for 2 years from the date you enter in this category, it is advisable to tell the Entry Clearance Officer when you intend to travel so that the entry clearance can be deferred to that date. The validity of the entry clearance can be deferred for up to 3 months from the date of issue.

Once your application has been accepted you may be interviewed.
