Non-EU students who wish to remain in the UK after they have graduated must apply for a post Study work visa from UK Visa and Immigration (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration)  .  There are several visas you can apply for as a London graduate:

  1. Tier 2 (General) Visa: This is the primary visa to remain and work in the UK after your studies. It is open to recent graduates with a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD from a recognised UK university (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-students). Before you apply you must have an offer of a skilled job from a licensed employer (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers) and be paid a salary of at least £20,800. After five years of employment, Tier 2 visa holders can apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK providing they meet the salary requirements (£35,000) and other relevant eligibility criteria. Visit the UK Home Office (https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/settle-in-the-uk) website for further information.
  2. Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Visa: This visa option is open to all students who are developing a world-class business idea. You will need to be identified and sponsored by your university as having the potential to create your own business in the UK. This applies to all graduating students from any subject discipline.
  3. Tier 4 (Student) Visa: If you are a student completing a PhD at a UK higher education institute you can apply to stay in the UK for a further 12 months after your course completion date. You will be sponsored by your university but you will have full unrestricted work rights, except for some limited professions such as doctors or dentists.
  4. Tier 5 Youth Mobility Scheme: Some nationalities are eligible to apply for a two-year work scheme permit. You can find details on the UK Home Office website (https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-youth-mobility).
  5. Tier 5 Temporary Worker: This visa allows you to work in the UK for up to 12 or 24 months (depending on the scheme you’re applying for). International students in the UK can apply for the Tier 5 (Government Authorised Exchange) (https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-government-authorised-exchange) visa to undertake work experience and internships in the UK after their studies. You can apply to switch from your Tier 4 visa to this visa from within the UK.
