Is it true that to get a job and settle abroad, one must go through studies with a study visa only?

No, studying abroad on a student visa is not the only way to get a job and settle in another country.

Many countries offer work visas for skilled professionals, which do not require you to study there first. These typically require a job offer and meeting certain eligibility criteria. Some countries also have pathways to permanent residency based on your work experience, education, and skills.

Studying abroad can help, but it's just one of several possible routes to working and settling overseas. If you want to explore work visa options, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you based on your profile and goals.
