UK mulls curbs on post-study work visa for international students
The Free Press Journal|January 26, 2023
In what could be troubling for thousands of Indian and international students in the UK, Home Secretary Suella Braverman is reportedly planning to cut the period of stay for an overseas student under the post-study visa route.
UK mulls curbs on post-study work visa for international students

The proposal comes as the UK and India are expected to come to the table for the seventh round of talks regarding their Free Trade Agreement (FTA). However, extra student visas are not part of the negotiations, according to Kemi Badenoch, United Kingdom's International Trade Secretary, who was in India last month.

What are the possible changes?

According to UK media reports, the Goan origin Tory minister is mulling the idea of reforming the Graduate Route Visa, which benefits thousands of international students in the UK, who can stay in the UK for at least 2 years after completing a course and finding work. In the case of doctoral students, they can stay for three years.

A report by The Times has highlighted that Braverman, who has been critical of the heavy influx of international students and student visa dependents coming to the UK, is mulling requiring non-UK nationals to obtain a work visa after getting a skilled job or leave the UK in 6 months.

Disagreements within the UK establishment

There is some disagreement in the UK government over the changes, as supporters of Braverman's plans argue that the Graduate Route Visa is being misused by students, who are on short courses at non-elite institutions, according to the report.

Though the UK's Department of Education is trying to resist the plans due to it possibly leading the country to be a less attractive study destination, restrictions on international students have been pursued by the Rishi Sunak-led UK government for a while as the country hit its target of 600,000 students last year.
