UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme
Unlock unprecedented opportunities for young people aged 18-30 to live and work across the UK and EU. Be ready when the doors open.
A New Chapter in UK-EU Relations
The proposed UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme represents a landmark agreement that would allow young people from both sides to live and work temporarily in each other’s territories. This groundbreaking initiative aims to rebuild connections severed by Brexit while creating invaluable opportunities for the next generation.
Age Range
Initially targeting 18-30 year-olds, with potential extension to 35. This scheme opens doors for young professionals, students, and adventurers seeking international experience.
Duration
Live and work for up to 2 years (though negotiations may adjust this to 1 year). Enough time to gain meaningful experience and build lasting connections.
Work Authorization
Full work authorization in 27 EU countries for UK citizens, and UK work rights for EU citizens. Perfect for career development and cultural exchange.
Financial Requirements
Based on existing schemes, participants typically need around £2,530 in savings to demonstrate financial independence during their stay.
Reciprocal Benefits
True two-way exchange – British youth gain access to 27 EU countries while contributing to balanced cultural and economic exchange.
Sector Focus
Particularly beneficial for hospitality, agriculture, and seasonal work sectors that have faced staffing challenges since Brexit.
