Understanding the Temporary Worker Charity Visa (Tier 5)
This visa category is designed for individuals who want to do unpaid voluntary work for a charity in the UK. It allows you to stay in the UK for up to 12 months and engage in specific types of work.

To be eligible for the Tier 5 Charity Worker visa, there are certain criteria you must meet, including:
You must obtain sponsorship from an employer registered as Home Office sponsor. Upon sponsorship, you will be issued a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) like an online UK work permit.
