Frequently asked questions

Which agriculture, forestry and fishing companies sponsor UK visas?

Big farming groups, agribusinesses, forestry firms and fisheries hold licences in this section. Filter the live register to agriculture, forestry and fishing to see them all, and which are hiring now.

What visa do I need to work in agriculture in the UK?

Skilled roles such as farm manager, agronomist or agricultural engineer use the Skilled Worker visa, which needs a job offer from a licensed sponsor at or above the salary and skill level set for the occupation. Lower-skilled seasonal harvest work uses the separate Seasonal Worker route instead.

Can I get sponsored for seasonal farm work in the UK?

Seasonal harvest and horticulture jobs go through the Seasonal Worker visa, which is temporary and run by a small number of approved scheme operators rather than individual farms. It sits outside the Skilled Worker route and does not lead to settlement, so check which scheme operators are approved before you apply.
