After completing a master's degree:
- UK: Post-study work visa (Graduate Visa) allows you to stay and work for up to 2 years if you apply on or before 31 December 2026. For applications from 1 January 2027 onward, the duration is 18 months.
- New Zealand: Post Study Work Visa is valid for up to 3 years if you complete at least 30 weeks of full-time master's study, with open work rights anywhere in New Zealand.
Visa rules are subject to change.
