Now Indians can work in UK for two years, UK launches Young Professional Visa

New Delhi: The Indian High Commission in the UK on Tuesday started the visa application process for British youth to apply under the new Young Professional Scheme (YPS).

Similarly, the British High Commission in New Delhi has started the process for Indian graduates from today. 
Under the agreement signed between the two countries in November last year, Indian and British citizens can apply to live and work with each other for two years. Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswamy announced the launch of the scheme.
The India-UK Young Professional Scheme was launched for graduates in the age group of 18 to 30 years who are willing to live, study, travel and work for two years in both countries.
The event was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rishi Sunak late last year.
This reciprocal system has seen opportunities for the youth of both countries to “benefit from cultural experiences and put expertise in both economies”.
