It depends on the country where you complete your master's in business.

- New Zealand: A master's degree usually qualifies you for a post-study work visa up to 3 years (subject to change).
- Germany: After a master's, you can apply for an 18-month job seeker visa to find work related to your field.
- UAE: Post-study work options exist, such as the Green Visa (5 years) for certain professionals, but eligibility varies.

Post-study work visa rules and durations are subject to change and differ by country. For guidance based on your specific plans, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
