What is UK Seasonal Work Visa?

Uk Seasonal Work Visa which is also called a temporary working visa is issued by the UK government under which people who want to go to the UK can go there to do seasonal horticulture work with a sponsor who is an approved scheme operator. A person on a seasonal work visa can work for a maximum time period of 6 months in any 12-month period.

On a seasonal work visa, you can go to do work such as picking fruits, vegetables, flowers, agriculture, farming, and so on. The work is related to horticulture.
