After graduating in Jamaica, international students can explore several post-study work visa options. The most common is the Graduate Work Visa, allowing graduates to work for up to 12 months in fields related to their studies. Alternatively, the CARICOM Skills Certificate enables graduates from CARICOM member states to work in Jamaica or other member countries without a work permit.
For non-CARICOM students, securing a work permit is necessary, often requiring a job offer from a Jamaican employer. Some graduates may also transition to a resident visa if they meet specific criteria, such as long-term employment or investment in the country.
