Which student visas allow volunteering as part of a study program?

Student visas in countries like the UK, US, Australia, and Canada often permit volunteering under specific conditions. In the UK, Tier 4 (General) students can volunteer without restrictions, provided it doesn’t replace paid work. The US F-1 visa allows volunteering related to the study program, but unpaid internships may require authorization.

Australia’s Student Visa (subclass 500) permits volunteering if it benefits the community and isn’t for profit. Canada’s study permit holders can volunteer freely, provided the activity aligns with charitable or non-profit goals. Always verify local regulations to ensure compliance with visa terms.
