WORK VISAS
Graduate Visa
About Graduate Visa
The Graduate Visa allows international students who have successfully completed an eligible UK degree to stay on and work, or look for work, without needing employer sponsorship. It is an unsponsored route that gives recent graduates time to build their careers in the UK and potentially switch into a longer-term work visa. Eligibility depends on your course, the sponsoring institution and your immigration status at the time of application. RakLAW helps graduates apply, plan their next steps and switch into routes such as the Skilled Worker Visa.
Who this is for
- International students completing eligible UK degrees
- Graduates wanting to work in the UK after study
- Those planning to switch into a sponsored route
- Recent graduates exploring UK career opportunities
How RakLAW helps
- Confirm eligibility based on your course and status
- Prepare your Graduate Visa application correctly
- Advise on switching into longer-term work routes
- Support dependants already in the UK with you
