Hi,
I've a question about the working holidaymakers visa that I can't find the answer to in other posts.

My girlfriend is coming over to the UK from Canada in October having been here for six months earlier in the year and I think the working holidaymakers visa is the best way of guaranteeing a longer stay.

However, she is 30 at the moment and her birthday is in December. Is this a problem in getting the visa? If not, will it still limit the length of the visa she gets?
Thanks,
J

I believe you have to apply and enter the UK before your 31st birthday as it is inclusive of the age 30.

Thanks Amaryliss. So her age (if she applied now) won't be a problem in getting the visa for two years?

Yes, I think so. A friend of mine is doing the same right now and her 31st birthday is in November, so she plans on leaving in October. She made a phone call to the British High Commission in Ottawa to find out a while back.

Cheers,

Natasha
