The United Kingdom is a hub for immigrants from around the world. It offers ample career opportunities and growth potential to people. 

A religious Worker Visa allows you to enter the UK in a non-pastoral role or on a valid religious order. This visa replaced the T5 Religious Worker visa (Temporary Worker).
