After working in the UK for one and a half years post-study, what are the chances of getting further job opportunities or permanent residency?

Yes, you can access further job opportunities and work towards permanent residency in the UK after 1.5 years of post-study work.

- Job opportunities: During your Graduate Visa (post-study work visa) period, you can work in any job without sponsorship. This is a good time to gain UK work experience and seek roles with employers who can sponsor you for a Skilled Worker Visa.
- Permanent residency (ILR): To qualify for permanent residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain), you must switch to a Skilled Worker Visa and complete five years on that visa. Time spent on the Graduate Visa does not count toward this five-year period.

Your next step is to secure a job offer from a licensed UK employer to transition to the Skilled Worker Visa pathway.
