Is it better to choose UK over Australia for study abroad due to visa complications in Australia?
If you want to avoid complex visa requirements, the UK is generally simpler than Australia.
- UK: The Student Visa process is straightforward, with clear requirements for admission, English proficiency, and financial proof. After graduation, you can stay for 2 years on the Graduate Route post-study work visa (PSW).
- Australia: The process can be more complicated, especially for post-study work rights. Eligibility often depends on your occupation being on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and a relevant skills assessment.
If minimizing visa complications is your priority, the UK is usually the better choice. If you need personalized advice, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
