How hard is it for international students to stay in the UK?
“Many of my friends have adapted to life in the UK after studying in the UK, and many people want to stay here. But only a few people stayed. Did you know that only 2.58% of Chinese graduates successfully got a work visa in 2015? “ This is Astro, who is talking to me. She is the senior UK job consultant I found online. She is Chinese and this is her 12 year in the UK. At that time, she stayed in England because she found a job as a teacher. later, she changed her profession to become a consultant.
Under normal circumstances, foreign students apply for a Tier 2 visa after graduation. The applicant’s job offer must be given by a company with a Tier 2 work visa guarantee qualification. And employers should be willing to pay an extra 1000 pounds a year to the government for overseas employees.
“You are a thousand pounds more expensive than others,” Astro said. “The number of enterprises that can provide a guarantee is also relatively small, there are a total of 28269 qualified guarantee companies, and the number of labour visas for each company is also limited.”
In addition, the job must meet the salary requirements of the visa application. This requirement is usually more than £30000 a year. It is difficult for fresh graduates to get this amount of annual income.
