Japan Youth Exchange Scheme

This section explains how you can come to the United Kingdom as part of the Japan: Youth Exchange Scheme. Under this scheme we will give you permission to come to the United Kingdom for up to 12 months which cannot be extended. It explains:

• if you are eligible to come under the Japan: Youth Exchange Scheme;
• how to apply;
• can you extend your stay;
• if you can bring dependants; and
• if you can appeal if you are refused entry under the scheme.

Please note the Youth Exchange Scheme is due to be deleted later this year when the new points-based system Youth Mobility Schemeof Tier 5 is launched.
