Does EY sponsor visas?

We welcome applications from non-UK nationals but there are some restrictions you’ll need to know about when you apply. First of all, you need to make sure you meet the criteria for people looking to work in the UK, before you start on a programme. You can find out more about working visas from the UK Border Agency website, here.

Then, depending on the start date of the programme you want to apply for, you’ll need to submit your application to us before the following dates:

For programmes with an August or September 2021 intake, your application must be received by 5th February 2021 or 8th March 2021 respectively.
These deadlines give us plenty of time to meet with you during the recruitment process and, if you’re successful, for us to apply for your visa.

If you require visa sponsorship, only some graduate programmes in certain locations can support all the conditions set out by the Home Office Code of Practice. They are:

Any graduate programme in Assurance, Consulting and Tax (other than Belfast)
People Advisory Services – Mobility & Reward programme in Manchester, London, Leeds and Reading
People Advisory Services – Performance, Systems & Talent programme in Edinburgh, Manchester, London and Bristol
Transactions programme in London, Birmingham, Reading and Bristol
Unfortunately, we can’t process international applications for programmes other than those listed above because of the salary benchmark set by the UK government.
