Has anyone been granted a minister of religion/missionary visa to the UK?

Question

How long did the application process take? Do you have any specific recommendations to someone applying from your experience?

Answer 1

If you plan to come to the UK to work full-time as a minister of religion, you must provide evidence of the following:

that you are a religious worker whose main duty is to lead a congregation in prayer and preach about your religious beliefs

that you have been working for at least one year as a minister or that you have been ordained after training for the ministry

if you were trained then this training must have been for at least one year full-time or two years part-time

that you will not need help from UK public funds

If you want to stay in the UK for more than a year, you can extend your stay as long as you remain in the same position, you can show that your congregation still needs you and that you did not ask for help from public funds.
