After graduating in Kosovo, international students can explore post-study work visa options primarily through employment-based permits. Kosovo does not offer a specific post-study work visa, but graduates can transition to a work permit if they secure a job.
The employer must apply for a work permit on the graduate’s behalf, demonstrating that the position cannot be filled locally. Required documents include a valid passport, employment contract, and proof of qualifications. The permit is typically valid for one year, renewable annually. Alternatively, graduates may consider regional opportunities in neighboring EU countries, which often have more structured post-study work programs for non-EU nationals.
