What is the seasonal worker visa scheme for poultry? Providing poultry labour when it’s needed the most

Following a competitive tender process, RE Recruitment has been chosen as one of two suppliers for the UK’s seasonal worker visa scheme for the poultry sector. This means that RE Recruitment can sponsor workers for them to apply for a seasonal visa. The government confirmed the scheme on 13 June 2022 in the Government food strategy.

The visa route will run from 2022 to 2024 and currently allows up to 2,000 visas for temporary migrant workers to work in the UK poultry sector. The quota for the Seasonal Worker visa route can change each year. As the number of visas granted across the scheme is confirmed at 2,000 for 2022, RE will receive half of the allocated certificates of sponsorship.

Certificates of Sponsorship (and subsequent Visas) will begin to be issued in early October, and applicants will be placed throughout October, November and December. As a condition of the scheme, workers will be permitted to stay in the UK until 31 December 2022.
