UK Graduate Route Visa (GRV)
The UK Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has recommended keeping the Graduate Route Visa (GRV) unchanged after its review in May 2024. The GRV, introduced in 2021, allows international students to stay in the UK for two years post-graduation (three years for PhD holders) to seek employment. This decision is widely supported by stakeholders and is particularly beneficial for Indian students, who are the largest group of international students in the UK. Despite the high costs of studying and living in the UK, the GRV offers valuable opportunities for professional growth and the possibility to transition to a Skilled Worker visa. The MAC also suggested implementing stricter reporting regulations for universities.
