FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Religious Worker and Minister of Religion?

Minister of Religion involves leading worship, preaching, and performing religious rites. Religious Worker is for those performing other religious duties — such as a monk, a religious teacher, or a community worker whose role has a religious character but is not ministerial.

How long is a Religious Worker visa?

Up to 2 years, or the duration of the CoS. Extensions are possible. Like the Minister of Religion route, this is a Temporary Work category with no direct ILR pathway.
