To extend a student visa after graduation, the key is to explore post-study work options available in the host country.
Typically, you need to apply for a work permit or a specific visa that allows you to stay and work. Requirements can include a job offer, evidence of financial stability, and in some countries, a completed application form with biometric details.
For example, in the USA, students often apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which lets them work in their field for up to 12 months (or up to 36 months for STEM graduates).
In other countries like Canada or Australia, students can apply for post-graduation work permits that offer a few years of stay.
The application process usually involves providing proof of graduation, a valid passport, and relevant documents before your current student visa expires.
