You may be able to apply to come to the UK as a Tier 5 migrant to work temporarily under the UK’s immigration laws if you fit into one of the following categories:

• Creative and sporting workers;
• Charity workers;
• Religious workers;
• Government authorised exchange – certain specified schemes approved by the government to share knowledge and experience;
• International agreement – work covered by international law, such as employees of overseas governments, private workers in international households, and the General Agreement on Trade in Services;
• Youth mobility scheme – nationals of Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Monaco and Taiwan who are under 31 years old and want to experience life in the UK.  British Nationals (Overseas), British Overseas Territories Citizens and British Overseas Citizens are also eligible.

The UK Border Agency changes the requirements of the Points Based System regularly and if you are refused leave to remain under the Points Based System and you appeal, you will only be able to rely on evidence that you submitted with your original application; you cannot introduce new evidence. It is therefore important that any application for a Tier 5 (Temporary Worker) visa is prepared carefully.
