Domestic Workers in a Private Household
From personal chauffeurs to live-in nannies, domestic workers can accompany their employers to the United Kingdom under the Overseas Domestic Worker visa route.
This category is open to individuals who provide personal care and household support, including but not limited to cleaning, childcare, and driving services.
To qualify, the domestic worker must have been employed by the same employer for a minimum of 12 months prior to the visa application. Whether you are an employer seeking to bring your domestic worker, or an employee wishing to accompany your employer, this requirement applies equally.
The visa grants permission to stay in the UK for up to 6 months. It is non-extendable, and applicants must ensure they depart the UK at the end of the authorised period. Specific eligibility criteria apply to both parties, and compliance is essential to secure entry under this route.
If you require advice on eligibility or support with the application process, our team is available to assist with clear, practical guidance tailored to your circumstances.
