Graduates from Botswana seeking post-study work visas have several options depending on the destination country. Popular choices include the UK’s Graduate Route, allowing stay for up to two years (three for PhD holders), and the USA’s Optional Practical Training (OPT), permitting 12 months of employment (extendable for STEM fields). Australia offers the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485), valid for 18 months to four years. Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) provides up to three years of work eligibility. Each country has specific requirements, such as proof of graduation, financial stability, and language proficiency. Researching visa policies and consulting immigration experts is advisable.
