It makes a lot of sense to work abroad for a few years after receiving your degree. In some cases, obtaining the appropriate post-study work visa might be the first step towards settling down permanently in the nation where you studied.
These are a few of the most famous countries where you can work internationally after graduating.
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Ireland
So, let’s explore these countries in a bit more detail.
United Kingdom:
International students who graduate from a higher education institution can stay in the UK for a maximum of two years. With a Tier 2 work visa, you can also apply for an employer sponsorship program to extend your stay beyond this point.
Canada:
International students may apply to stay in Canada for a maximum of three years after successfully completing their studies at a Canadian institution or university. They will have six months from the date of graduation to apply for their permission, either in Canada or in their home country.
Australia:
Australian students can apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa, which enables them to stay for 2 to 4 years after graduation. Your course type will determine how long you are allowed to remain in the nation.
New Zealand:
Even though you only have 1 year to stay in the country after graduating, there are many options to branch out into other visa categories. Don’t forget that the nation has recently been stricter about post-study work permits.
Ireland:
A post-study work visa for up to 12 months is available in Ireland for those receiving a bachelor’s degree. However, if you are pursuing a post-graduate degree, you are allowed to stay in the country for a maximum of 24 months.
