UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has chosen not to move forward with his plan to eliminate the graduate visa due to strong resistance from important cabinet members. Earlier, PM Sunak was thinking of getting rid of it to lower the migration numbers.
According to the UK Government’s official website, the graduate visa allows you to stay in the UK for at least 2 years after completing a course in the nation.
In 2023, more than 50,000 Indian students were able to secure post-study employment thanks to the Graduate Visa. This was the largest number of all nations, accounting for 44% of all student visa renewals.
If you are in the UK, you can apply for a graduate visa. A person must also have studied a UK bachelor’s degree, postgraduate degree, or other eligible courses for a minimum period of time in order to meet the eligibility requirements.
Only after completing a course with your student visa or Tier 4 (general) student visa are you qualified. A graduate visa lasts for two years. It is valid for three years, nevertheless, if you hold a PhD or other doctoral certification.
It’s important to remember that the graduate visa begins the day your application is accepted and cannot be extended. The £822 application fee and the £1,035 yearly healthcare surcharge are the two charges.
