We understand that there is a financial commitment to an international program and sometimes opportunities can come up at the wrong time. When required, we are able to offer a payment plan to help with the costs of paying for a program.
Due to the nature of the visa application process, the full fee is required to be paid a minimum of three months before your program start date. There is a £25 admin fee associated with the payment plan, which is added to your program invoice.

PAYROLL DEDUCTION PLAN
Some of the employers offer the option for participants to only pay $1,000 upfront for the Program Fee, and the remainder is paid by the employer in order for the J! visa to get processed and the participant to begin their Program. Once the participant starts their training Program in the USA, a small amount is repaid to the employer each week from their paycheck until the full amount is repaid. Please ask a Yummy Jobs representative for more details.
