To meet the requirements you must:
- Be aged 18-65
- Intend to travel to the UK in the company of your employer, your employer's spouse or your employer's minor child
- Intend to work full-time as a domestic worker in the same dwelling as your employer
- Be able to maintain and accommodate yourself adequately, as certified by your employer, without recourse to public funds
If you come to the UK with your employer on a visit then you are expected to depart with them. If you stay longer, you are not allowed to work unless members of their close family are also visiting and they want you to work for them. You must, however, leave at the end of your permission to stay.
If your employer is living in the UK and takes trips abroad, you do not need to go with them as long as they are still based in the UK and are going to return.
If your employer leaves the United Kingdom permanently, you are expected to leave with them. If you do not, you must make arrangements to leave the UK before your permission to stay ends. |
