AMENDMENTS TO THE IMMIGRATION RULES

My IPT: Immigration Changes

1.

Following is text of proposed revised rule on Working Holidaymakers with the proposed amendments underlined:

"Young Commonwealth citizens (within the age range of 17 to 25) who come to the United Kingdom for extended holidays of up to 2 years before settling down in their own countries, and

who satisfy the Immigration Officer that they intend to take only employment which will be incidental to their holiday, should be admitted

for 12 months, provided that they have the means to pay for their return or onward journey and are

unlikely to need to have recourse to public funds. They should be advised that it will be open to them to apply for extensions of stay
