The high potential individual visa pathway (HPI) has been established in the UK, which allows graduates from the top 50 non-UK universities to live and work in this country for a minimum of two years. Work visas for PhD or other doctoral qualifications will be for at least three years. Those who have difficulty extending their HPI visa will be able to move to other visas, such as a skilled worker visa, according to the British government regulations.
The new HPI visa route will cost around 715 pounds ($ 900) and will allow students to bring dependents or close family members to the country. International students studying at one of the leading universities in the UK have the right to stay for up to three years under the graduate visa, also known as a post-Studi work visa, which was introduced in July 2021.
In order to meet the requirements, the institution must be located outside the UK and must be placed in the top 50 of at least two of the three ratings for the year in which the applicant receives qualifications, according to the British head office.
