Is there any visa option other than student visa, such as a work visa, that would allow me to go abroad and continue my career in UK?

Yes, there are several work visa options that can allow you to continue your career abroad, especially in the UK.

Based on your background in Mechanical Engineering and 5 years of work experience, the main options include:

- Skilled Worker Visa: Requires a job offer from a UK employer with a sponsor licence and meeting minimum salary and English language requirements. This route can lead to permanent residency.
- Global Talent Visa: For recognized leaders or emerging leaders in your field. No job offer needed, but requires an endorsement from a relevant body.
- High Potential Individual (HPI) Visa: For recent graduates from top global universities. No job offer or sponsorship required, valid for up to 2 years.
- Intra-company Transfer Visa: If your current employer has a UK branch, allows you to transfer to the UK.

Visa requirements and policies are subject to change. For personalized guidance on the best visa pathway for your career, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
