How to remain in the UK after graduating?

Post by JamesKensington » Tue Jun 02, 2020 9:54 pm

Hello,

I have recently finished my third year of University and my current visa expires in mid October this year.

Seeing as the 2 year post graduate visa only applies for 2021 graduates onwards, I would like to know what are my best options right now to remain in the UK.

Thank you very much!

Tier 2 sponsor is the only way if you don't have settled or British partner.

You would need to find a sponsor on the HO Tier 2 sponsor list.
