Working in the UK after your studies

The UK Border Agency has announced the closure of the Post Study Work Visa from April 2012. This closure, however, will also be accompanied by the relaxing of requirements for an alternative visa route - the Tier 2 employer sponsored work visa. 

The concessions or relaxed requirements announced by the UK Border Agency will be that:

  • There will not be a limit on the numbers of students able to switch from student visa to Tier 2 (students switching to Tier 2 will not affect a company's visa quotas)
  • Employers sponsoring switching students will not be required to meet the Resident Labour Market Test - the need to demonstrate that they could not recruit a UK or EEA national for the job. 

You will have to get a job offer from a sponsoring employer before your student visa expires. The Tier 2 visa currently also requires a minimum salary of £20,000 for the position. This may reinforce the need to ensure that you have a range of employability skills on offer, and apply early in order to secure a position that pays this salary.
