UK offers two-year visa to international students StartYourCareerInUK

International students will be offered a two-year UK visa after graduation with or without a job, the country’s Home Office has announced.

New Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the changes, which will come into force next year, meant that overseas students would not be forced to leave four months after finishing a degree — making it easier for them to start careers in the UK. “That’s why we’re unveiling a new route for international students to unlock their potential and start their careers in the UK,” he said.

No cap will be placed on the number of students eligible for the visa, nor will there be restrictions on the kinds of jobs they can seek.The changes mark a return to a policy that was previously scrapped by the coalition government in 2012 when immigration was considered the most critical issue among the British electorate.
