Considering that it is difficult to recruit more people in various jobs after Brexit, the UK government recently announced that the post-Brexit visa scheme will allow around 5,000 to 5,500 HGV truck drivers and poultry workers might be able to work as short-term temporary workers.

Currently, short-term visa routes do not lead directly to settlement in the UK unlike the Skilled Worker visa route, but an individual can come to the UK for a limited period in the occupations required by the UK.

There are three main categories for a short-term work visa as follows.


In order to apply for a short-term worker visa, the organisation or company the individual wants to work for must be a Home Office approved sponsor, and the sponsor must issue a valid Certificate of Sponsorship. In addition, the applicant must meet the financial requirements by holding £1,270 in cash fund for at least 28 consecutive days.
However, unlike the Skilled Worker visa route, there is no English requirement to apply for a short-term worker visa.
Applicants must submit a valid tuberculosis certificate if necessary depending on the country they are applying for.
Each applicant can stay in the UK for a 14-day grace period, during which the individual may leave the UK after their permission to work has expired.  
Generally, applicants for short-term Worker visas must apply from outside the UK.
Applicants for Creative and Sporting Visas and Charity Worker visas may also allow bringing dependent partners or dependent children (under 18 years of age) in the UK. However, visa applicants for seasonal workers cannot be accompanied by partners or children.
Applicants in each of these routes should receive a decision within 3 weeks of application.
