Citizenship Areas
The Graduate Visa allows international students who have successfully completed a degree at a UK higher education provider to stay and work (or look for work) in the UK for up to 2 years after completing their studies (3 years for PhD graduates). No sponsorship is required and you can work at any skill level.
Completed UK degree — You must have successfully completed a course at undergraduate level or above at a licensed Student sponsor.
Current Student visa — You must hold a valid Student visa (or Tier 4) at the time of application.
Apply from within the UK — Applications can only be made from inside the UK.
Application fee — £937 plus Immigration Health Surcharge of £1,035 per year.
The Graduate Visa cannot be extended, but you can switch to another visa route such as the Skilled Worker Visa if you find eligible employment with a licensed sponsor.
We assist graduating students with timely Graduate Visa applications and advise on long-term immigration planning, including switching to sponsored work routes.
