A major new consultation has been launched by the UK government on reforming the student visa system.
Several new proposals are included as part of the consultation including stricter entrance requirements and limitations on in-country student visa extensions.
Most importantly, the 2 year Post Study Work visa is earmarked for abolition. This is the work visa, that many graduates obtain allowing them to work in the UK and then switch to a Tier 1 or Tier 2 work visa.
This would be a major development and would affect many overseas students with plans to work in the UK.
