Can I get post-study work permit in the UK and plan to stay longer on it?

Yes, the UK currently offers a Graduate Route post-study work visa that allows students to stay and work after graduation. At present, it allows up to 2 years of stay-back (expected to reduce to 18 months for students graduating from January 2027 onwards). During this period, you can work full-time and later try to switch to a Skilled Worker visa if you secure a sponsoring employer.
