Graduates from Micronesia seeking post-study work visas have limited direct options, as Micronesia itself does not offer such visas. However, opportunities exist in countries like the U.S., Australia, or New Zealand under specific programs.
The U.S. offers Optional Practical Training (OPT) for students on F-1 visas, allowing up to 12 months of work (or 36 months for STEM fields). Australia provides the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) for graduates of Australian institutions. New Zealand’s Post-Study Work Visa requires graduation from a NZ qualification. Research each country’s eligibility criteria, including institution accreditation and visa duration.
