Australia typically offers a 2-year post-study work visa (Temporary Graduate visa, subclass 485) for most master's and bachelor's graduates. This can extend to 3 years for master's by research or PhD holders. If you studied in a regional area, you may get an extra year.

The Netherlands offers a 1-year Orientation Year visa for non-EU graduates from Dutch universities to seek work or start a business after graduation.

Visa durations and policies are subject to change. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
