When can I apply for the Graduate Visa?
You are only eligible to apply for a Graduate Route once the University has notified the Home Office that you have successfully completed your course. This will typically be within 5 working days of your final results being released. You will then be notified and only from that point can you apply for a Graduate Visa provided you are still in the UK with a valid Student Visa.
Please be aware of changes to the period you can remain in the UK as part of the Graduate Route.For more information of the types of visas you can apply for as a graduate, view our working after your studies page.
