Post-study work visa durations for master's graduates are:
- Australia: 2 years for a master's by coursework, 3 years for a master's by research. Some regional locations may offer longer durations. - New Zealand: Up to 3 years if your master's (Level 9) was full-time for at least 30 weeks. - UK: Up to 2 years on the Graduate Visa for master's graduates (for applications on or before 31 December 2026). - UAE: Job Seeker Visa allows 60 - 120 days to find a job. Employer-sponsored work visas are typically 2 - 3 years and renewable. Long-term options (Green and Golden Visas) require meeting specific criteria.
Visa policies are subject to change.
