Verified global position with employer visa sponsorship, relocation support, and permanent residence pathways.

Role Overview & Work Details

UK's seasonal agricultural work visa route is still accepting applications for summer/autumn 2026 placements — berry picking, apple harvest, and poultry roles. Quotas are filling fast.

This opportunity is actively hiring international talent. Successful candidates receive a formal job offer letter along with full sponsorship documentation to apply for their work visa.

Who This Is For:

This route is well suited for workers seeking short-term, legal seasonal employment in the UK without needing a permanent job offer or long-term sponsorship — a faster and less competitive alternative to skilled work visas.

Current Opportunities:

Summer berry picking 🔹 Autumn apple harvest 🔹 Poultry roles (October–December)

Key Details:

2026 Quota: 55,000 visas total — approximately 35% of spots still available 🔹 Minimum Wage: £11.44 per hour (rising to £11.75 in April 2026) 🔹 Processing Time: Currently 3–4 weeks (slightly longer due to high demand)

Important Note:

Placements are employer-sponsored and sector-specific (agriculture). Applicants should confirm current quota availability and sector openings directly before applying, as caps are enforced strictly once reached.
