UK Lottery Visa

Indian Young Professionals Scheme – UK Visa for Indian Graduates

The Indian Young Professionals Scheme (IYPS) is a unique opportunity for qualified Indian citizens to live, work, and explore the United Kingdom for up to 2 years without needing a job offer in advance.

This scheme is part of a bilateral agreement between India and the UK, aimed at strengthening cultural and economic ties through youth mobility and professional exchange.

At EA Immigrations, we help eligible Indian graduates navigate the entire application process from entering the ballot (visa lottery) to successfully securing their UK visa.

What is the Indian Young Professionals Scheme?

The Indian Young Professionals Scheme visa allows Indian citizens aged 18–30 with a graduate degree to:

  • Live in the UK for up to 2 years
  • Work in any field (no sponsorship or job offer required)
  • Study, travel, and gain global exposure

The visa is granted via a ballot system, meaning interested candidates must register for a free online draw, and only selected applicants are invited to apply for the visa.

Key Benefits

  • No sponsorship or job offer needed
  •  Flexibility to live, work, or study anywhere in the UK
  • Stay for up to 24 months
  • Enhance your international work experience and career growth
  • Opportunity to transition to long-term visas (like Skilled Worker Visa) after 2 years

Eligibility Requirements

To apply for the Indian Young Professionals Scheme, you must:

Ballot Process – How It Works

  1. The UK government opens a ballot – usually twice a year (e.g., February and July).
  2. Applicants must register during the ballot window (typically 48-72 hours).
  3. The ballot is free to enter.
  4. If selected, you will receive an invitation to apply for the visa within a fixed deadline.
  5. If not selected, you can try again in future ballots.

Note: Only 3,000 places are available per year, making the process competitive.

Visa Application Process (After Ballot Selection)

Once you’re selected in the ballot, the next steps are:

  1. Prepare documents:

    • Valid passport
    • Degree certificate (or proof of qualification)
    • Bank statement showing required funds
    • Tuberculosis test results (if applicable)

  2. Submit visa application online

  3. Pay the visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge

  4. Attend biometric appointment at a UK Visa Application Centre in India

  5. Wait for visa approval (processing time: usually 3–4 weeks)
