Will the United Kingdom re-introduce post-study work visas?
Updated on Dec 14, 2023The United Kingdom reintroduced a post-study work visa called the "Graduate Route” in 2019. This route allows international students who have successfully completed a degree in the UK to work, seek employment or start their own business in the UK after their studies.
The Graduate Route typically grants graduates a post-study work period of up to two years (or three years for doctoral graduates) in the UK. During this time, they can work without the need for employer sponsorship. This route provides international graduates with valuable opportunities to gain work experience in the UK and potentially transition to other long-term work visas or settlement routes.
However, immigration policies and visa regulations can change over time. It's advisable to check the official UK government website for the most up-to-date information regarding post-study work visas.
