The UK-India Young Professionals Scheme (YPS) 2025 ballot is set to open next week. This visa scheme offers Brits and Indians the unique opportunity to live, study, travel and work in the other country for up to two years.
Indian nationals aged 18 to 30 must enter the ballot on gov.uk to be considered for one of the 3,000 spots available under the scheme. The ballot is scheduled to open on February 18 and close on February 20. Applicants do not need to pay to enter the ballot, and successful entries will be picked at random.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old on the date they plan to travel to the UK. They must also have a qualification at UK bachelor’s degree level or above and have proof of £2,530 in savings to support themselves in the UK.
