Graduates from Laos seeking post-study work visas have limited direct options, as Laos does not have formal post-study work programs like some Western countries. However, alternatives exist depending on the destination country.
For example, Australia offers the Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) for international students, including Laotians, who complete eligible qualifications. Canada provides the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), allowing graduates to gain work experience. The UK’s Graduate Visa permits two years of post-study work. Each program has specific eligibility criteria, such as course duration and institution accreditation. Researching destination-specific requirements is essential for a successful application.
