Kyrgyzstan has opened online registration for citizens seeking seasonal agricultural work in the UK in 2027. This was reported in a press release issued by the Center for Employment of Citizens Abroad under the Ministry of Labor, Social Security and Migration of Kyrgyzstan on August 17. The registration concerns participation in the UK’s seasonal agricultural work program for 2027.
The British operator HOPS will select candidates after the registration process is completed. The opportunity is provided through the UK’s Seasonal Worker Scheme, which enables British farmers to recruit workers from abroad through licensed scheme operators. HOPS is one of the operators authorized to sponsor workers under the scheme.
According to the Kyrgyz center, applicants must be Kyrgyz citizens aged 18 or older and be prepared for physically active agricultural work. Applicants must also have a valid international passport. The document must remain valid through 2028, the publication says.
The registration form requires applicants to provide their full name in Latin characters, international passport number, email address, and contact telephone number. Applicants must also answer additional questions. The center specified that the email address used for registration must end with gmail.com.
The passport number must begin with PE or AC, according to the registration requirements. Registered candidates will be subsequently selected by HOPS. Those selected will receive further instructions by email concerning the next steps in the process, the report noted.
The center also warned applicants against using intermediaries during registration. The UK Seasonal Worker Scheme covers temporary employment in the horticultural sector, including work with vegetables, fruit, flowers, mushrooms and nursery plants. Workers on the relevant visa can stay in the UK for up to six months for horticultural work.
