2. Members of the Commonwealth will need to obtain a visa under the 'working holidaymaker' scheme.  For more information about this scheme, see leaflet INF11. As the family, you will be asked by us to write a letter of sponsorship for the candidate. (We can advise you of the contents of this letter.)
