Uk Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa arrival dates

Upvote:3

You are Australian. You plan to apply for a T5 and if successful, you will present your entry clearance on a flight arriving from the EU rather than Australia and want to know if it's ok.

From a legal point of view, it's fine. From an operational point of view, you should plan for some delay (but not detention) when clearing UK immigration. The reason for this is that they may not be expecting a T5 arrival from a flight originating in the Netherlands and may not have duty IO's up-to-speed on how to conduct a PBS landing interview (i.e., not your fault).

The landing interview is likely to focus on if there has been a change of circumstances prompting your arrival from a 3rd country. Given that this can be suitably explained, you would expect a standard PBS arrival interview and nothing more.

You can also inform the carrier that you are non-EU and arriving as a T5. They can notify the immigration desk. All in all, it is not a big deal and nothing to worry about.
