How do I check my Youth Mobility Scheme Visa status?

The Youth Mobility Scheme visa status can be tracked in the same way as other UK visas are tracked. There is no individual way to track the Youth Mobility Scheme visa status; rather, an applicant can check the general status of visa processing on the UK government's designated websites.

 

The Youth Mobility Scheme decides on your visa within three weeks of your appointment at the visa application center (VAC).
