目前考慮申請Graduate Visa，以我讀碩士而言，應能待英國2年

我必須申請的時候在英國，等候簽證結果的期間除了去英國外，只能去愛爾蘭、海峽群島、曼島

我現在人在英國，拿的是學生簽證，還在有效期中
就讀大學屬於Student Sponsor - Track Record  行列

就讀大學會在下個月中旬告知Home Office我完成課程、獲得碩士學位的事情

以我的情況，如果拿到該簽證，可以從簽證有效期起待在英國2年；未必是越早申請越好，因為可能會造成簽證到期時間也早

該簽證會在申請8週內獲得決定，即使現簽證到期，也可以在等候決定期間合法留在英國

申請費加上healthcare surcharge，如果是2年的畢業生簽證，則需要總計花掉£2892

在使用畢業生簽證期間，我可以在絕大部分部門工作、找工作、自營業等等，但如果需要用到Skilled Worker Visa，則需要注意那間企業是否可自資助我、是否願意資助、行業薪資門檻如何等等

薪資門檻目前調到了£38700/年，但有一些例外情況，可以讓這個薪資門檻更低：

1. 人力短缺崗

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations/skilled-worker-visa-shortage-occupations 

可能適用我的有：

2129 Engineering professionals not elsewhere classified – all jobs; England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland;  80% of going rate: £26,720 (£13.70 per hour)  


3111 Laboratory technicians – all jobs;  England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland;  80% of going rate: £15,120 (£7.75 per hour)  

2. You’re under 26, studying or a recent graduate, or in professional training

You can be paid 70% of your job’s usual going rate if one of the following applies:
you’re under 26 on the date you apply
you’re currently in the UK on a Student visa studying at bachelor’s degree level or above - or you have been in the last 2 years, and a Student or visit visa was your most recent visa
you’re currently in the UK on a Graduate Entrepreneur visa
you’ll be working towards a recognised qualification in a UK regulated profession
you’ll be working towards full registration or chartered status in the job you’re being sponsored for

If this applies to you, check how much you’ll need to be paid to qualify for this visa.
Your total stay in the UK cannot be more than 4 years if you apply for one of these reasons. This includes any time you’ve already spent in the UK on a Tier 2 (General) work visa.

因為要求我不能在英國待超過4年，所以這一條不適用

3. You have a PhD level qualification that’s relevant to your job

If your job is eligible for a PhD salary discount, you can be paid 80% or 90% of the job’s usual going rate, depending on which subject you are qualified in.
If you have a science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) qualification, you can be paid 80% of your job’s usual going rate, as long as you will still be paid at least £20,960 per year.
If you have a non-STEM qualification, you can be paid 90% of your job’s usual going rate, as long as you will still be paid at least £23,580 a year.

In both situations, you must:
have a UK PhD or an equivalent doctorate-level overseas qualification - you’ll need to apply through Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC) to check if an overseas qualification is equivalent to a UK PhD
be able to prove your qualification is relevant to the job you’ll be doing in the UK - your employer can confirm this

View the list of jobs that qualify for a PhD salary discount to see if your job is included and how much you need to be paid.

If you’re a research or academic leader, you may also be eligible to apply for the Global Talent visa. This visa has no language or minimum salary requirements.

這得等我找到合適的博士班機會再說啊

You have a postdoctoral position in science or higher education

You can be paid 70% of your job’s usual going rate if you’ll be working in a postdoctoral position in certain science or higher education roles.
Your job must be in one of the following occupation codes to qualify for this salary discount:
2111: chemical scientists
2112: biological scientists and biochemists
2113: physical scientists
2114: social and humanities scientists
2119: natural and social science professionals that are ‘not elsewhere classified’, such as research fellows and sports scientists
2311: higher education teaching professionals

If this applies to you, check how much you’ll need to be paid to qualify for this visa.
Your total stay in the UK cannot be more than 4 years if you apply to work in a postdoctoral position at 70% of the usual going rate. This includes any time you’ve already spent in the UK on a Tier 2 (General) work visa.

這條也是不適用我

我上週四已被告知，大學校方已經告訴UKVI Home Office我學業完成的事情，接下來可能會面臨現有簽證有效期被縮短的局面

LZ是今年毕业？
