Is it possible to work in both UK and Ireland after studying abroad?
Yes, you can work in both the UK and Ireland after studying abroad, but each country has its own post-study work options and requirements.
- UK: The Graduate Route visa lets you stay and work for up to 2 years (18 months for applications after 1 Jan 2027). Other options include the Skilled Worker Visa (requires a job offer) and Start-up Visa (for entrepreneurs).
- Ireland: The Third Level Graduate Programme (Stamp 1G) allows non-EU graduates to stay and work for up to 24 months after completing a recognized degree.
Visa rules and durations are subject to change. If you're interested in working in both countries, you'll need to meet each country's specific eligibility and apply for the relevant visas. For guidance on your next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
