Working with student immigration permission when studies have ended
If you have immigration permission for up to four months beyond the end of your studies, you can work full-time once you have completed all your studies.
If you have immigration permission that is more than four months longer than your course, you should:
- make a new immigration application if you are eligible for the category under which you are applying to stay, or,
- leave the UK when you reach the four-month point.
If at the end of your course you apply to stay in the UK as a Tier 1 (Post-Study Work – scheme ends April 2012) or Tier 2 migrant , you can work full-time until your Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) or Tier 2 application is decided.
Be careful about leaving the UK during this period – re-entry to the UK
