The UK is to offer work visa to foreign students.
International students, after their completion of either Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, will be able to get a 2 years time to search for work. The good news is that there is no limit for students who can apply for the new graduate route. It means the applications to be accepted are unlimited.
If a student finds a job that fulfills the skill needs of the route then he will be able to switch the skilled work route.
To be accepted for this new proposed offer, the students need to fulfill the following:
- a successfully completed degree from a genuine university or higher education provider.
- a proven track record in upholding immigration checks and other rules on studying in the UK.
- a personal passport
- Valid TIER 4 Visa
The government wants to achieve the target of almost six hundred thousand international students who come to the UK for studies in the next 10 years. According to the latest statistics, British universities hosted 4,60,000 non-EU international students.
Currently, the students are allowed to have just four months of post-study work visa. It was established in 2012 by the home secretary, Theresa May. This has been indeed not enough time to look for work in the UK for fresh graduates.
The major changes in the current policy of student visa will be finalized and completed soon.
