The Youth Mobility Scheme is for young people aged between 18 and 30 from Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand and Taiwan.
British overseas citizens, British overseas territories citizens and British nationals (overseas) can also apply under the scheme and do not require a sponsor.
Applicants must score 50 points – 30 for nationality, 10 for age and 10 for maintenance.
