Permission to work for asylum seekers: how caseworkers handle requests

The Home Office guidance sets out how staff handle permission to work requests under Immigration Rules paragraphs 360 to 360E, including volunteering.

Written by ImmigrationGPTPublished 31 October 2026Source (opens in a new tab)

UK Visas and Immigration has published caseworker guidance on how staff handle requests for permission to work from asylum seekers, failed asylum seekers and people who have submitted protection-based further submissions. The guidance applies to applications considered under Part 11B, paragraphs 360 to 360E of the Immigration Rules.

Who the guidance applies to

  • Asylum seekers
  • Failed asylum seekers
  • People who have submitted protection-based further submissions

The guidance sets out the policy, process and procedure that staff must follow when they consider these applications. It is written for caseworkers, so it describes what staff do rather than what applicants must do.

Volunteering

The guidance also covers volunteering. The full text is on the gov.uk guidance page (opens in a new tab).

For background on visa routes, see our visa guides.
