<h3>Can I be a volunteer in the UK ?</h3>
<p>An individual with a Standard Visitor Visa can. To be considered a volunteer you must meet the following criteria.</p>
<ul>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">You must help a charity or public sector organization but must not be under contract for employment or be considered an employee.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">You must not receive payments or financial compensation.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Where do I apply for a Standard Visitor Visa ?</h3>
<p>If you are a national of a country on the “visa national list"(Please scroll down for Immigration Rules Appendix Visitor: Visa National List) you must apply for a Standard Visitor Visa at a British Embassy (or High Commission or Consulate) or Visa Application Centre before you travel to the UK using this link. Information about where to apply in each country can be found here.<br />If your country is not on the visa national list, you can apply for a Standard Visitor Visa Visa before travelling (as above), or you can make a Standard Visitor Visa application on arrival at a UK airport by showing a Visa Support Letter from the Education House Leeds. This will outline the giving details of the training/course you intend to take.<br />To avoid any problems on arrival in the UK, non-EEA delegates coming for a training course of less than six months must apply for a Visa at least 6 – 8 weeks before leaving for the UK. This is the safest and most practical option. Please note:</p>
<ul>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Non-visa nationals will get a Standard Visitor Visa on port which is a single entry Visa.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Visa nationals will get a Standard Visitor Visa through entry clearance in their own country and it will be a multiple entry visa.</li>
</ul>
