Many countries have different support policies for foreign students to start their own businesses.

After graduation, the traditional way out for international students is nothing more than two things: either returning to China to be a "returnee" or staying abroad to work and get a green card. However, the reporter learned that in recent years, many countries have encouraged international students to stay and start businesses locally. It is reported that with the support of European and American policies, international students who are interested in starting a business can get tax exemption or funding, and some international students can even obtain local status through successful starting a business.

Alex originally worked in a building automation engineering company in Guangzhou to undertake the internal automation system project of commercial and residential buildings. At the age of 30, Alex left everything at home and went to Swansea University to study for a master's degree in international commercial law, intending to expand his career in the field of international trade. In his words, "change your life."

Swansea is Haikou City, which has a strong industrial chain of import and export trade. During studying abroad, Alex used his spare time to travel and found business opportunities for outdoor sports products, so he and his classmates founded an e-commerce company in Swansea. This company has received many support plans from the local government, such as the local labor employment incentive plan, the warehousing support plan of the logistics industry, and the exhibition fund plan to open up overseas markets. In two years, he realized a profit of more than 50 thousand pounds. He successfully immigrated as an entrepreneur and stayed in the UK to work and settle down.

Angus High School in Aberdeen, Guangzhou went to Canada to study, and after graduation, she was successfully promoted to Simon Fraser University in Canada. After graduating from college, Angus applied for a three-year work visa and entered an international student service agency in Vancouver for management. In his daily work, Angus found that many foreign students have various maladjustments and need to help them solve some minor problems in their study and life. Out of love for the education industry, after working for two years, Angus, who had successfully applied to Fengyeka, Canada through experienced immigrants, decided to use his accumulated work experience to start a Canadian high school.

Angus said that in Canada, college students will be encouraged and helped by the government and even the whole society. In particular, students who have accumulated 1 year work experience and successfully applied for experienced immigration will enjoy the government's entrepreneurial support policies, including partial tax exemption. Experts pointed out that China students who have plans to stay and start businesses after graduation can find jobs locally and accumulate about two or three years of work experience before starting businesses.

Europe and America support many entrepreneurial policies.

In addition to Canada, other countries studying abroad will also give policy support to international students who are interested in starting a business. For example, in the Netherlands, all self-employed entrepreneurs can enjoy 33% tax exemption in the first year of their business. Last year, L, who graduated from Rotterdam Business School majoring in international business management, enjoyed a one-year "job-seeking" visa in the Netherlands. He used this year to set up his own travel agency in the Netherlands and enjoyed 33% tax exemption in the first year.

In Britain, students can get a T 1 graduate entrepreneurship visa, and get 50,000 pounds and a letter of guarantee to help them invest and start a business as long as their creative research or work results are recognized by venture capital companies or relevant government departments (including schools). The visa period is 12 months, and 12 months can be renewed. Students earn 50,000 pounds in two years, and under the existing immigration policy, they are eligible to successfully transfer to entrepreneurial immigration.

It is understood that policies to support entrepreneurship are not uncommon in European and American countries. Liang Xiaoyan, consultant director of British Department of Kai Tak Guangzhou, believes that students can apply for more professional and technical disciplines in the field of science and engineering (such as art design and architectural design). Because students in these fields are more likely to attract funds to open personal studios through technological innovation or personal talent.
