Can I extend stay in UK legally after studies?


Yes, you can legally extend your stay in the UK after your studies through the Post Study Work (PSW) visa, officially known as the Graduate Route.

Key Details:


- Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree Graduates: You can stay and work (or look for work) in the UK for up to 2 years after completing your program.
- PhD or Doctoral Graduates: You can stay for up to 3 years after graduation.

How to Apply:


- Apply for the Graduate Route from within the UK before your current Student visa expires.
- You must have completed an eligible course at a UK Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance.
- No sponsorship is required from an employer for this visa.

Work Rights:


- You can work at any skill level and switch jobs without needing additional sponsorship.
- You can also be self-employed.

What Happens Next?


- After your PSW visa expires, if you wish to stay longer, you may be able to switch to other visa categories, such as the Skilled Worker visa, if you secure a qualifying job offer.
