Can I extend my visa after studying abroad?

Yes, many countries allow international students to extend their visas after completing their studies, often through post-study work or graduate visa schemes. The eligibility criteria, duration, and application process vary by country.

For example, the UK offers a Graduate Route visa, allowing students to stay for up to two years (or three for PhD holders). In the US, Optional Practical Training (OPT) permits a 12-month stay, extendable for STEM graduates. Always check the specific immigration rules of your host country and apply before your current visa expires to avoid legal complications.
