Summary
The Graduate Route Visa, which was announced by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel last year and is now open for applications, is likely to be of particular value to Indian students, who are known to pick their degree programmed primarily on the potential of gaining work experience by working in the United Kingdom (UK) while studying them.
Work in the United Kingdom (UK)
In the United Kingdom, the Home Office has launched a new post-study work visa for overseas students, which allows graduates who have completed their university studies to apply for permission to remain in the country for working experience. The Graduate Route Visa, which was announced by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel last year and is now open for applications, is likely to be of particular value to Indian students, who are known to pick their degree programmed primarily on the potential of gaining work experience while studying them.
Are you qualified to immigrate to the United Kingdom?
The Graduate route is intended for overseas graduates who have received their degree from a recognized UK university and who want to remain in the country and seek work for at least two years after graduation. Subject to satisfying specified standards, beneficiaries of the new route for “internationally mobile persons” will also be able to renew their visas and reside in the United Kingdom under certain conditions.
According to the UK Government’s points-based immigration system, “talented students from India and around the world now have the chance to kick start their careers in the United Kingdom at the highest echelons of business,” Home Secretary Priti Patel said in a statement. The minister said, “Once they have obtained their world-leading qualification from one of our outstanding education institutions, this new visa will offer them the flexibility to pursue their ambitions and improve their careers.” More than 56,000 Indian citizens were awarded a Student visa in the past year, representing a 13% increase over the previous year and accounting for over a quarter of all Student visas given by the United Kingdom.
