How will Brexit affect Nanny Employers?

Following the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union on 31st January 2020, new rules around travelling to and working within the UK, have been announced.

We have put together a list of the top Brexit FAQs from nannies and nanny employers.

If you are applying to work within UK, but are not a UK national, you should check HMRC’s website for visa requirements prior to travelling.

 

You can use the online checker on the Governments website to find out what type of visa you may require for working in the UK, along with details of the next steps to take.

 

As part of the Governments visa process, you may be required to provide Identification and evidence illustrating that you can financially support yourself during your stay.

Whilst individuals working as nannies are eligible to apply for the skilled worker visa, they must ensure that they meet the Government’s eligibility criteria and have a sponsor in place, to be granted the visa.

 

However, it is worth noting that Government’s guidance currently states that domestic employers are not eligible to sponsor individuals who wish to in the UK.

 

Further information on the skilled worker visa, can be found here.

The application fee for a visa, can vary depending on the circumstances.  In addition to the visa fee, you may also be required to pay an Immigration Health Surcharge for the duration of your stay. This will provide you with access to healthcare services offered by the NHS.
