The religious worker category is for people coming to the United Kingdom to work temporarily as a religious worker.
Religious workers can do:
- preaching, pastoral work and non-pastoral work;
- work in the United Kingdom in the same way you are working in an overseas organisation (although your duties in the United Kingdom may be different). The job should be done during a break from your job overseas; or
- work in a religious order with community which involves a permanent commitment like a monastery or convent. The work in a religious order must be in the order itself or outside work directed by the order. You can apply if you are a novice whose training means taking part in the daily community life of the order.
The specialist immigration team at Healys LLP will be pleased to assist you with an application under this category.
