Graduate Visa allows international students to work and live in the UK for 2-3 years after graduation.
Prior to that, Prime Minister Sunak had been considering restricting or even canceling graduate visas in order to reduce the number of immigrants.
However, Jeremy Hunt, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Cameron, the Foreign Secretary, and Cleverley, the Home Secretary, are all opposed to any plan to reduce legal immigration by targeting foreign students. They warned that the expulsion of foreign students would affect economic growth and harm British universities.
It is estimated that Sunak may choose a more moderate reform next to close the loophole and "prevent the abuse" of the immigration system; One of the measures currently proposed by the Home Secretary Cleverley is to crack down on intermediaries selling British graduate visas overseas.
Regardless of the future, students who graduated this year can now apply for graduate visas with confidence.
Among them, undergraduate and master graduates can stay in the UK for two years, and doctoral students can stay in the UK for three years.
It should be noted that the graduate visa can only be applied when the student has obtained a degree and the university has notified the Home Office of the UK that the student has graduated.
