The first ballot for the UK Youth Mobility Scheme (YM) for Taiwanese youth will run between January 31, and February 2, 2024.
What to Expect
- Applications are submitted by email, according to the instructions here. The email account will only be open for 48 hours and all emails received within this timeframe will be sent an automated reply confirming receipt.
- Once the ballot closes, allocations for the 800 places will be chosen at random by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Successful applicants will be sent a second email by February 7, 2024, to confirm acceptance and provide further instructions on how to start their application, along with documentary evidence required to apply for their entry clearance.
- Successful applicants must prepare online applications and online credit card payments no later than March 6, 2024. Failure to submit payment online by this date will automatically remove their name from the list and their allocation will be retracted.
- After payment online, applicants have 90 days to book an appointment at the Visa Application Centre (VAC) and submit their paperwork for consideration.
