Studying abroad is often the first step toward building a new life and career in a foreign country. For many, the next goal is getting a work visa so they can stay after graduation. But switching from a student visa to a work visa isn’t always simple. Immigration rules differ by country, and the wrong move could cost you your legal status. At Samrhe Global Limited, we guide you through this important change to give you the best chance of success.
Know Your Options
The first thing you need to do is find out what work visa options are available in the country where you are studying. Some countries have special post-study work visas for graduates, while others require you to find a job first. Each option comes with its own rules, eligibility requirements, and timelines.
Start Early
Waiting until your student visa is almost over is risky. Work visas can take months to process, and you don’t want your student visa to expire before your new visa is ready. We suggest starting at least six months before you finish your studies.
Get the Right Job Offer
Most work visas require an employer to sponsor you. But not all jobs or employers qualify. Some countries only allow sponsorship in certain industries or for jobs with specific salary levels. We help you find eligible jobs and present yourself to employers as someone worth sponsoring.
Prepare Your Documents
Your application must be complete and accurate. This usually includes your job offer letter, qualifications, passport, and sometimes medical or police clearance. Missing even one document can delay your application. Our team makes sure everything is correct before you submit it.
Use Post-Study Work Programs
Some countries, like Canada, the UK, and Australia, have post-study work programs that let graduates stay for a set time after finishing their degree. This gives you time to gain local work experience and then apply for a longer-term work visa or permanent residency.
Follow the Rules
You must stay within the limits of your current visa while you apply for a new one. Overstaying or breaking visa conditions can harm your future applications. We help you stay compliant so you don’t face unnecessary problems.
