Tier 5 ( Youth Mobility Scheme)
The Youth Mobility Scheme will replace the following immigration categories and concessions:
(i) Working holiday maker;
(ii) Non-EEA au pairs;
(iii) BUNAC;
(iv) Gap year;
(v) Japan: Youth Exchange Scheme; and
(vi) Research assistants to Members of Parliament.
Transitional Arrangements
where a person has been granted entry clearance in any of these categories, or has been granted leave to enter at port for more than six months, he will be free to remain, leave and re-enter the UK until his leave expires. However, where leave to enter was granted to a non-visa national at port in any of these categories and the person leaves the UK before it expires, he will not be permitted to re-enter the UK to complete his leave in that subcategoty. This might not prevent a non-visa national from re-entering as a visitor but he would not then be permitted to work.
Under the pre-PBS regime, working holiday makers were permitted to switch into HSMP and work permit status. This is no longer possible. Working holiday - makers are not permitted to switch into any PBS tier and required to lease the UK if they wish to apply for further leave.
Tier 5 (Temporary Workers)
Tier 5 (temporary workers) will replace the following immigration categories:
(i) exchange teachers and language assistants;
(ii) General Agreement on Trades in Services;
(iii) International Association for the Exchange of Students of Technical Experience;
(iv) International Fire Fighter Fellowship Programme;
(v) EU Leonardo da Vinci Programme
(vi) Rudoif Steiner;
(vii) Medical Training Initiative;
(viii) Training an Work Experience Scheme;
(ix) China Graduate Work Experience Programme;
(x) Vander Elst;
(xi) non- pastoral religious workers;
(xii) visiting religious workers;
(xiii) voluntary workers;
(xiv) overseas domestic workers in diplomatic household; and
