Domestic Worker Visa for UK with Devisers

If you and your family have been granted a visa to the UK, wouldn’t it be perfect if you were able to take a domestic or household worker like a maid, chauffer, gardener, cook or nanny to the United Kingdom with you? That would certainly be ideal to make your stay or residence in the UK a comfortable one.

Devisers a leading and reputed immigration service provider will help you through the formalities of applying for a Domestic Worker visa to be able to take your hired help with you.

Who is Eligible for a Domestic Worker Visa?:

For a person to be eligible to apply for a Domestic Worker Visa he/she must be aged 18-65 and have been employed under the same roof as the employer for one year or more immediately prior to your application and show evidence that there is a connection between the worker and employer.

The Domestic Worker Visa applicant must intend to travel to the UK in the company of the employer, the employer's spouse or employer's minor child. He/she must intend to work full-time as a domestic worker in the same dwelling as the employer and be able to maintain and accommodate himself adequately, as certified by the employer, without recourse to public funds

The Domestic Worker Visa is usually for between six and 12 months, depending on the length of stay of your employer. Devisers can also facilitate the extension of this visa.

A Domestic Worker’s Stay in the UK:
If one comes to the UK with an employer on a visit then you are expected to depart with them. If the employer is living in the UK and takes trips abroad, you do not need to go with them as long as they are still based in the UK and are going to return. If the employer leaves the United Kingdom permanently, you are expected to leave with them

 In case the applicant wishes to change jobs and no longer remain employed with the original employer, the consultants at Devisers will guide that the Home Office must be informed of the change. The applicant may continue to work as a domestic worker in a private household. No formal application needs to be made until the need for extension arises.
