Change visa type

Post by Majidlotfi3728 » Mon Jul 16, 2018 6:04 am

Hi

I am going to be a student in UK in next two months for only 2 months, it is a professional course.
1- Is it possible to stay in UK if I found a job after finishing my course?
2- What should I do to change my study visa to work visa?
3- How long does it take?
4- Is it a complicated process or not?

Could you please help me know more.

Thanks

What visa are you applying for to come and do a course?

Your flag indicates you are from Iran, which means you need a visa before you travel to the UK.

You cannot switch to any other time of visa if you are in the UK on a short term study visa valid for 6 months or less. Tier 2 General work visa as a student is only possible to switch to if you have held a Tier 4 student visa and completed a degree in the UK.

A short course does not count.
