With the opening of the spring semester in the UK, many of our international student friends are planning their future, and there are not a few who wish to stay in the UK.
However, as we all know, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a stable job in the UK that offers a work visa! The Immigration Department has also hinted many times that it will tighten the work visa in the future! So for those who want to stay in the UK for permanent residence, what should they do?
Indeed, many international students are anxious when their student PSW visas are about to expire, and they don’t know how to maximize the use of their limited time and resources to quickly start their own path to permanent residence.
Today, we would like to share with you a super practical strategy for international students to switch to work visa By joining an existing store in the UK, you can get a UK work visa, and at the same time of making money from your semi-start-up business, you can get a UK identity!
Let’s take a look at some real cases together!
Graduated from UCL
To the assistant manager of a spicy hot pot restaurant
Applicant’s Background UCL, UK After applying for a PSW visa, J applied for a PSW visa after graduating from UCL. However, the job search process did not go smoothly, and he realized that the traditional job search path was not suitable for him after several months of hard work with no response. Initially, he wanted to open a restaurant in London and be his own boss, but after two months of waiting and watching, he found that he was inexperienced in terms of decoration, rent and purchasing equipment, and the cost could not be suppressed, and the overall investment in starting a business amounted to millions of dollars, which was too risky and discouraged him. During this period of confusion, he came into contact with Downton’s team and learned that a British chain of spicy hot pot franchise program has a mature mode of operation. After visiting the existing stores and communicating with his employer, he decided to take part in the program and successfully converted into a work visa within the first six months of his PSW visa, enjoying three and a half years of preferential salary for graduates. Nowadays, the stores have been successfully opened, business is booming, and the status of permanent residence has been steadily progressing.
