Graduate Visas

The Graduate Visa was introduced over the summer to enable the best and brightest foreign students to remain in the UK and seek employment without the need for sponsorship. It’s also an interesting route for employers, as it means they can hire these graduates for up to three years before deciding whether to sponsor them or not.

In this podcast, Angharad Aspinall and Satinder Gill sum up what you need to know if you’re planning to recruit on this visa – including eligibility criteria, right to work checks, and restrictions on the type of work applicants can undertake.
