New Zealand teachers
It’s never been easier for New Zealand-trained teachers to come and work in the UK.
For years, the Youth Mobility Visa has allowed NZ passport holders the opportunity to spend time in the UK. Changes made in June 2023 meant the age cap has now upped to 35 (rather than 31) and there’s an option to extend the 2-year visa by another year.
This means you don’t have to commit to three years straight away – we challenge you not to go for it though. Most people find that two years isn’t enough!
Fortunately, the cost of the Youth Mobility Visa remains the same:
| Application fee | £259 | |
| Healthcare surcharge (£470 per year) | £940 | |
| Total | £1199 |
If you take advantage of the third year extension, there are further costs to consider:
| Application fee | £259 | |
| Healthcare surcharge (£470 per year) | £470 | |
| Total | £729 | |
| Grand total for the full three years | £1928 |
This will be implemented for Australians as of 31 January 2024 – UK Government website gives more information.
