Graduates from Sao Tome and Principe seeking post-study work visas have limited options, as the country lacks extensive international agreements. However, Portugal offers pathways due to historical ties. Graduates can apply for a Portuguese post-study visa under the Student Visa conversion scheme, allowing residency for job search or entrepreneurship.
Alternatively, exploring global opportunities like Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) or Australia’s Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) is viable if studies were completed in eligible institutions. Researching destination-specific requirements, such as proof of funds or language proficiency, is crucial for a successful application.
