UK to boost work visas for Indian Nationals

The scheme will offer Indian and UK nationals the chance to live, study or work in either country.  The agreement includes a special Young Professionals Scheme to allow young Indian and British graduates the opportunity to live and work in either country for two years.

Young professionals aged 18-30 who hold a valid degree or diploma will have the opportunity to take part in the scheme.

The UK and India will each cap the number of visas issued under the scheme to 3,000 per year.

The new deal builds on the post-study Graduate Route, which will come into force on 1^st July 2021. This route will offer eligible graduates 2-3 years to stay back in the UK after their studies to work, gain experience and build their career.
