What is a Graduate Immigration Route (Post-Study Work Visa)?
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.
