the way to get residency in the UK if
you're a tearful student is to switch to
a tier 2 general visa or switch to a
startup visa now I'm offering a new
service with a sector specialist partner
where we can basically facilitate this
or help help you in going down this
process by placing you in two companies
or startups where you can you can work
with people through an internship now
how does this work
well on your tier for visa what you can
do is study see you and work at the same
time within limits so if you're on a
full-time course at degree level you can
work for 20 hours per week during term
time and full time during vacations so
this is quite significant because it
means that you have the opportunity not
you know just to do perhaps some more
menial work as a student - to pay the
bills but really some to mate to make a
move and do an internship where you can
have a big impact on your career so what
my partner is able to do is match you as
a student with appropriate our companies
who are looking for interns and then
that gives you them the opportunity to
get in front of people I have some
experience and then I'm beyond a pathway
where perhaps you could apply for a role
and these would be companies that have a
sponsor licence so you know they would
have the ability to sponsor you now and
the key thing to this route is that
there needs to be a match of experience
and expertise because any role that's
offered needs to be advertised and this
is a shortage occupation role and that's
an important point if you are aiming for
a shortage occupation role then we can
we can handle that but the slightly
slightly different process and but
generally the roles will need to be
advertised one can be as an advantage if
they if you
they know you as a candidate but if
there is a a candidate in the local
labor force um if it is a role that
falls within that resident labor market
test and you have and there is someone
who presents themselves who has the same
experience qualifications as you then
they have to they have to accept them in
broad terms and now the other pathway is
through the startup route now
universities sometimes will endorse for
startups but there's little point in a
lot of cases in getting the university
to endorse you because you can't extend
a start-up visa through the university
and you'd then be in a position where
you'd have to move on to the innovative
visa so why not just go straight into an
incubator or accelerator and and begin
begin there on a startup visa and then
you could switch onto the innovative
visa with a body that has already
endorsed you initially and with whom you
already have a relationship now where
the internship comes in here is that if
you want to be if you want to co-found a
company and you're looking for
opportunities then you can actually work
with a prospective co-founder and get to
grips with their business idea work with
them perhaps that you may already be in
an incubator so you can understand that
that world as a typical student perhaps
you may not have been in an incubator
accelerator before and so it gives you
the ability to be acclimatized if you
like to that environment to get to know
the company and then if you were to then
co-found the company that would be that
would put you on a pathway potentially
to a to a startup visa so to two
different routes this designed really to
give you opportunities to to meet people
and familiarize yourself more with the
workplace as a student and to
potentially open up other routes that
will enable you to apply for a residency
in the UK on a tear for visa of course
either on your current visa you'll you
will not be able to apply for indefinite
leave to remain you you will need to
switch and startup visa or tear tear to
general visa
I can be great options for doing that I
hope that's that's a helpful update just
just to briefly highlight something
before we finish
so there's slightly different working
times allowed depending on the
institution your width so you can see
here if you're on a full-time course a
degree level then generally you'll have
20 hours per week
you can work during term time and full
time during vacation so it gives you
plenty of time to explore opportunities
in the UK if you're on a short term
study abroad program in the UK same
applies but if you're on a full time
course below degree level then the
applicable time is actually 10 hours per
week during term time and then if you're
on a part-time course at post degree
level or higher then no work is allowed
to this would not be this would not be
applicable same applies to a course at
any level at a publicly funded further
education college or a course at any
level at a private provider so this only
applies to full-time those in full-time
courses at degree levels and a and those
on short term study abroad programs and
also those on full-time courses below
degree level where there's where you're
sponsored by a higher education provider
