Guidance on the UK’s other work routes — the work visas that sit outside the main sponsored, temporary and talent categories, including UK Ancestry, the Turkish ECAA route, Overseas Domestic Worker, Minister of Religion and International Sportsperson.
Some UK work routes follow their own distinct rules rather than fitting the standard categories. The Ancestry visa serves Commonwealth citizens with a UK-born grandparent, the ECAA route covers Turkish workers, and dedicated routes exist for domestic workers, religious ministers and elite sportspeople. Our guides explain who each route is for. Browse them below.
