Can you suggest countries with better chances of PR and work visa after studies besides Canada and Ireland in UK/Australia?
Australia, Germany, the UK, New Zealand, and the Netherlands all offer strong post-study work visa (PSW) options and pathways to permanent residency (PR) for international students.
- Australia: PSW visa allows 2 - 4 years of work after graduation. Multiple skilled migration routes lead to PR.
- Germany: 18-month job seeker visa after graduation, with a path to PR via the EU Blue Card.
- UK: Graduate Route offers 2 years of work; can switch to a Skilled Worker visa and become eligible for PR after 5 years.
- New Zealand: PSW visa for up to 3 years; skilled work can lead to PR.
- Netherlands: Orientation Year visa for job search, then transition to PR after employment.
Visa durations and PR requirements are subject to change. If you want guidance on which option fits your profile best, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
