It depends on the country where you complete your MBA.

- Canada: Yes, you can typically get a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) for up to 3 years after an MBA from a designated institution.
- Australia: Post-study work visas are usually 2 - 3 years, depending on the type of master's and study location.
- New Zealand: You can get a Post Study Work Visa for up to 3 years after a master's, including an MBA.
- Ireland: The post-study work permit (Stamp 1G) is usually up to 2 years after a master's like an MBA.

Work permit durations and conditions are subject to change based on each country’s immigration rules and your specific program.
