Seasonal Agricultural Workers (Rules)
Seasonal agricultural workers may be admitted under paragraph 40(f) of HC 251. The
total number of workers admitted is subject to a quota which is currently 4000 per year
and is divided among six operators. The recruits must be students in full time education
aged 18 to 25 inclusive, with the exception of those in possession of a valid camp card
and a specific invitation from an approved scheme operator. Seasonal agricultural
workers may be admitted for 3 months or until 30 November on Code 4, whichever is
the shorter period, and extensions may be sought for a further 3 months or until 30
November. Switching is only permitted to visitor or student status (if non-visa
national). Police registration is only required if the stay exceeds 3 months.

Voluntary Workers (Concession)
This scheme operates as a concession outside the Immigration Rules. The scheme

raising), clerical or maintenance work and the work should be closely related to the
aims of the organisation. They are expected to leave the UK at the end of their visit.
Prior entry clearance is not essential but clear documentary evidence must be produced.
They may be admitted for a maximum of 12 months on Code 4. Except for volunteers
placed by CSV foreign nationals will be required to register with the police if the stay
is for more than 3 months.
