Other categories
This section contains information about other work-based categories available to people wanting to come to the United Kingdom to work.
We are currently reviewing our immigration system. It is likely that most of the categories in this section will be closed in due course and incorporated into a new visitor category. The domestic workers category and the sole representatives categories are still under review, these categories will remain open at present but may change in the future.
More details of any changes will be published on this website later in the year.
