The Graduate Immigration Route, commonly known as the Post-Study Work Visa, is designed for international students who have successfully completed an eligible course of study abroad. This visa allows graduates to remain in the host country for a fixed period—typically 2 to 3 years—after completing their studies, giving them the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, explore career opportunities, or prepare for long-term settlement pathways.
The visa is not tied to a specific employer, which means graduates can work at any skill level, switch jobs freely, or even explore entrepreneurial opportunities. It is an excellent way to transition from student life to professional life without the immediate pressure of securing employer sponsorship.
While document requirements may vary depending on the country, applicants generally need to provide:
A valid passport or travel document
Confirmation of successfully completed study (degree certificate or official transcript)
Biometric information (fingerprints and photographs)
Proof of identity and current immigration status
Evidence of financial stability (if required by immigration authorities)
Proof of English language proficiency (where applicable)
Fees: The application fee depends on the host country’s immigration authority, along with an immigration health surcharge (if applicable). Additional biometric fees may also apply.
Processing Time: Usually ranges from a few weeks to a few months. Early and accurate submission of documents can reduce delays.
