What about the work visa options if I go on a study visa in UK/New Zealand for a PhD?
Yes, both the UK and New Zealand offer work visa options after studying, but the details depend on your course and current policies.
- UK: After completing your degree, you may be eligible for the Graduate Route, which typically allows you to stay and work (or look for work) for up to 2 years (3 years for PhD graduates). This is known as the PSW (post-study work) visa and is subject to change.
- New Zealand: You may be eligible for a Post Study Work Visa, which lets you work in New Zealand for 1-3 years, depending on your qualification and where you studied. This policy is also subject to change.
