Tier 1 Post Study UK Highly Skilled Visa
The Tier 1 Post Study Visa is a sub-category of the Tier 1 Highly Skilled Visa, and will eventually replace the International Graduates Scheme (IGS) .Please note that this sub-category is NOT being introduced at the present time and you should apply for IGS until the Post Study Work Tier 1 Visa commences.
The Tier 1 Post Study Visa allows those who have graduated from a UK educational institution with at least a Bachelor degree level qualification (or an HND if from a Scottish educational institution) to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years.
While this Tier 1 sub-category will not qualify towards permanent residence, it would be expected that you would be able to qualify for the Tier 1 General Highly Skilled Visa or obtain a job offer and qualify for Tier 2 by the time your Tier 1 Post Study Visa is due to expire.
