SEGS/IGS to FRESH TALENT SCOTLAND

Post by givaunchy007 » Sat Nov 17, 2007 4:32 pm

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if it's possible to switch from SEGs/IGS visa to the FRESH TALENT SCOTLAND scheme, having graduated from a University in London and currently on SEGS visa. Responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

If you went to Uni in London, why do you think you qualify for FTS? I don't understand.

No offence, but you obviously haven't read the rules at all. The FTS is for graduates from Scottish universities/colleges only. London is certainly nowhere near Scotland to enable you to qualify: http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/workin ... rking.html

If, on the other hand, you mean you are on SEGs, then you study in Scotland and then apply for FTS, then that is obviously possible.

Hi VictoriaS and Sakura,

I actually read the rules, I just wanted to be doubly sure I had my facts right. Thanks for your replies.
