Can I extend my stay in the UK after studies?


Yes, you can extend your stay in the UK after your studies through the Post Study Work (PSW) visa, officially known as the Graduate Route. Here’s how it works:

For Bachelor’s or Master’s Graduates:


- You can stay in the UK for up to 18 months after successfully completing your degree.
- During this period, you can work (in most jobs), look for employment, or even start your own business.

For PhD or Doctoral Graduates:


- You can stay for up to 3 years after graduation.

Key Points:


- You must apply for the Graduate Route before your Student visa expires.
- There is no requirement to have a job offer to apply.
- The Graduate Route is not extendable, but you can switch to other visa categories (such as Skilled Worker Visa) if you find suitable employment.
- The time on this visa counts towards your residency if you later switch to a work visa and pursue permanent residency.
