How does the UK Graduate Visa (post-study work permit) work for Nepali students?

UKGraduate VisaPost Study WorkJobsImmigration

Hello,

I am currently studying in the UK and will complete my Master's degree soon. I want to understand the Graduate Visa — how to apply, when to apply, what jobs I can do, and whether it leads to permanent residency. I'm particularly interested in whether I can switch to a Skilled Worker visa from the Graduate Visa.

The UK Graduate Visa allows you to stay and work (any job, any employer) for 2 years after your degree (3 years for PhD). You can apply before your student visa expires and switch to a Skilled Worker Visa if you find a sponsored employer. It's a great stepping stone to UK permanent residency (ILR requires 5 years).
