Who can apply for a Minister of Religion Visa?
This category allows a limited number of people who have been offered a job in the UK within a faith community.
This includes but is not limited to:
-
minister of religion
-
missionary
-
member of a religious order
To apply for this visa route, the applicant must have a certificate of sponsorship for their job from an approved licensed body. Whilst in the UK, it is also expected that you are able to support yourself financially through savings or other financial means. This is because you will not be entitled to public funds. You must also be able to prove your knowledge of English by completing and passing an English language test.

Visa applicants must prove several documents with their application, these include:
-
Current passport and/or other travel documents
-
A separate passport photograph
-
A certificate of sponsorship for your job
-
Evidence that you have enough personal savings to support yourself in the UK, for example bank statements (unless your certificate of sponsorship shows your employer can support you)
-
Clear tuberculosis (TB) test result letter, if the applicant is from one of the countries on the Home Office's TB testing list.
Each case will demand unique evidence to prove your eligibility, therefore exact requirements may vary depending on your circumstances. We recommend speaking to an immigration lawyer for expert advice.
