What are the ways for British graduates to stay in the UK?

For graduates, the most direct way to study in the UK is to continue their studies, that is, to apply for a T4 student visa. However, the courses students study must show a certain degree of academic progress in order to obtain a visa. For example, if you graduate from a bachelor's degree, you can apply for a master's degree or above, or if you choose accounting as your master's course, you can apply for a master's degree in law after graduation. Although they are all master's courses at the same level, their majors are different and meet the requirements of advanced nature. If the applicant has obtained a master's degree in accounting from University A and wants to take a master's degree in accounting from University B, he can't get a visa.

Two. Secondary work visa

Graduates who can find legal jobs in the UK can also apply for a T2 work visa to stay. This visa not only requires the applicant himself, but also stipulates the employer company: first, the employer organization must have the qualification to support employees to apply for work visas, and the list of companies certified by UKBA with the qualification to provide work visas can be found on UKBA website. At the same time, the jobs that graduates are engaged in need to reach NQF6 level or above, and candidates who participate in the company's graduate program are not restricted by NQF6 level. In addition, the applicant's annual salary needs to meet certain standards. According to different jobs, UKBA has formulated different minimum annual salary regulations. Generally speaking, the minimum standard is more than 20 thousand pounds.

Three. Tier 1 entrepreneur visa

For graduates, it is also a good choice to start a business in the UK. There are three main paths to apply for a T 1 entrepreneur visa. First, the investment path of 200,000 pounds. As a T4 visa holder, the applicant cannot submit an application in the UK and needs to return to China to sign it. 2. Applicants can directly change from T4 to British T 1 entrepreneur visa by obtaining 50,000 pounds specially supported by venture capital funds, business incubation funds or government agencies; Thirdly, the applicant has an investment capital of 50,000 pounds, and has obtained the guarantee recognition from institutions of higher learning, so he can apply for a T 1 postgraduate entrepreneurship visa to start a business in the UK. In the process of applying for T 1 business start-up visa, it is very important to provide a clear and feasible business plan to prove the authenticity of your business start-up intention to the visa officer.

In addition, when you get a visa to start a business, you must also go to HMRC (General Administration of Taxation and Customs) and the company house (company office) to register a series of taxes, social security and companies. After completing the corresponding steps, entrepreneurs can legally run the company, and it is also helpful to successfully renew T 1 and stay in the UK after three years.
