Is it possible to apply for PR in the UK after bachelors and work experience?
Yes, you can apply for permanent residency (PR) in the UK after your bachelor's degree and work experience, but you must follow a specific pathway.
- You need a job offer from a UK employer licensed to sponsor international workers.
- With this, you can apply for a Skilled Worker Visa.
- After living and working in the UK for 5 years on this visa, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), which leads to PR.
Work experience from India can help with job applications but does not directly qualify you for PR. If you pursue further studies in the UK, you may also use the Graduate Visa to gain UK work experience before switching to a Skilled Worker Visa.
