« back The Timothy Programme has a long tradition of including international trainees on the programme. As an international applicant you need to keep in mind that you will need to do more advance preparation and planning than other applicants in order to come overseas. Here are some helpful hints: • If you are from a country that is part of the EU you will not need a visa, although you could apply for a Resident Permit through the website listed below. • If you are from a country outside of the EU you will need a Permit Free Employment visa (INF 14), you can find this application and further information at www.ukvisas.gov.uk, or you can call them at +44 (0) 2070 088 438. • You will need a passport that is valid for over two years from your time of entering the UK. • You will need to buy travel and health insurance from your own country. • It is advisable to set up a bank account in UK but as this process is lengthy please let us know if you wish to do so as soon as your application to the programme has been accepted. • You must arrange your own travel to London and then from London at the end of the programme. Please note that you will need to cover the costs of your flight, visa and insurance.
