Graduate Immigration Route
Under the UK's new Graduate Immigration Route, international graduates will be able to stay in the UK to work or look for work for up to two years after completing their studies, or up to three years after completing a PhD course. This is a great option to explore for your business.
This new visa route means you can hire an international graduate for up to three years without any visa related costs or the need to provide employer sponsorship.
