The UK-India Young Professionals Scheme (YPS) 2025 ballot is set to open next week, providing 3,000 Indian nationals aged 18 to 30 an opportunity to live, work, study, and travel in the UK for up to two years. The ballot will be open from Feb. 18 to Feb.20 on the UK government website.
To be eligible, applicants must hold a qualification equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree or higher and demonstrate savings of at least $3,126.86. Selected applicants will be notified within two weeks of the ballot closing and will have 90 days to apply for the visa, submit biometrics, and pay all associated fees, including the visa application fee and the immigration health surcharge.
British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron described the scheme as a significant step in strengthening UK-India ties. “The Young Professionals Scheme is an excellent programme which helps build a modern understanding of our countries among Brits and Indians alike. I strongly encourage people from all corners of the country to apply – from Itanagar to Coimbatore, from Leh to Surat, and from Bhubaneshwar to Indore,” she said.
The YPS, launched in 2023, is a reciprocal initiative allowing young professionals from both countries to gain international experience. Over 2,100 YPS visas were issued to Indian nationals in 2023. Participants must return to India after completing the two-year period.
The British High Commission has warned applicants against fraudulent agents and clarified that entering the ballot is free.
