How can international students find a stable job and move to the UK? Let's find out about the UK immigration law for international students, as well as the UK Government's policies on settlement here.
I. Studying abroad in the UK brings a lot of value
The reason why Vietnamese people in general and overseas students in particular prefer to settle in the UK is because of the benefits that it brings. Some of the benefits can be mentioned as follows:
1.Immigration to the UK gives you a powerful passport
Settling in the UK means that you will have a powerful passport. This passport can help you travel through hundreds of different countries around the world.
According to the Henley Passport Index, UK passports can travel through 185 countries without a visa. In other words, UK passports have the same strength as US passports and rank 6th in the world.
When you settle in the UK and have a passport, your children will also have this passport as a parent. Thus, your whole family in the future can legally live together in the UK.
2. Stable work and income while working in the UK
In some cases, settling in the UK also depends on the job you do. If you go to the UK for work, you have a chance to settle in the UK.
With UK settlement, you can freely choose your favourite job without relying on the company's guarantee. In addition, once you have settled in the UK, your working time can last longer. This is the premise for a stable source of long-term income.
It can be said that the average income of the British people is much higher than that of other European countries. Not to mention that England is the financial center of all Europe. Therefore, investment opportunities and career development are also extremely open to British residents.
3. Travel and exciting experiences
Living and working in the UK is really the dream of many people. When settling in the UK, you can absolutely travel anywhere with extremely cheap costs.
Despite Brexit and you need to apply for a Schengen Visa when traveling to European countries. However, with an ideal income and convenient transportation system, you can completely travel to European countries very comfortably.
In addition, the climate in the UK is also very mild. When settling in the UK, you will be comfortable enjoying life here without being constrained by time like at school.
Therefore, settling in the UK is the dream of many international students. With the spiritual and economic benefits, settling in the UK is always a goal when Vietnamese students come to the United Kingdom to study.
II. How to settle in England?
Study Abroad in the UK
Studying in the UK and settling down is the desire of many students. To do that, you first need to meet the following conditions:
- You have a potential student visa: A potential student who intends to study preparatory training courses before making a decision to study officially in the UK. This decision must be made within 06 months of entering the UK.
- You are an overseas student: You must have an invitation to study from the University and express a desire to return to the country after the course.
In addition to the above two visa categories, the UK Government has also recently issued a new working time after graduation for international students in the UK. Specifically:
- For Bachelors and Masters degrees: Can stay in the UK looking for work within 02 years.
- For PhD level: Can stay in UK looking for work within 03 years.
The above policy applies to students who start studying abroad in the 2021 academic year. Besides, you need to submit your application to the management agency to apply for a UK Visa extension. You can submit your application without any guarantee from a company or business. In other words, if you wish to settle in the UK during this period, you can submit your application when you do not have a job.
III. Study abroad can I stay and work?
1. Stay to work after graduation
After graduation, you can start the job process to settle in the UK. With this policy, students can be more proactive without too hurry in finding a job in the UK.
However, you should also remember that this policy also brings a lot of advantages to other international students. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously improve knowledge, interview skills and complete personal records.
If you intend to settle in the UK from the beginning, you should balance your study time and find a job that suits you as quickly as possible. The reason is that, although the UK government allows you to stay for 02 years to find a job. However, studying and settling in the UK is not simple. If you do not try hard enough, it will be difficult for you to find a job that suits you in the UK.
In addition, you will still have to pay other fees during the time you are not able to find a job and finish your studies - if converted into Vietnamese currency, it will be very expensive.
2. Working part-time to maintain your life
A lot of students will think about working part-time to maintain their life while looking for a job in the UK. This will also make settling in the UK safer financially.
However, if you only work part-time to earn money, you will not have a chance to settle in the UK. Because after a period of 02 to 03 years as prescribed, you will have to return to the country if you do not find a suitable job.
In case you find the job you want, you still have to return to your home country at the end of the above time limit. Therefore, a prerequisite you must achieve in the process of working (both part-time and full-time) is the guarantee of the company.
There are a lot of cases where the students are attached to a part-time job and are guaranteed by the company to continue working as an official employee. This is also a good opportunity to settle in the UK that you can consider.
Whatever the work environment, try to show your competence, always get along with people and handle situations skillfully. The important thing, is to seize the opportunity whenever possible.
IV. Priority occupations for studying abroad and settling in the UK
