High Potential Individual Visa - Routes To ILR

If you are a top global university graduate and are eligible to apply under the new High Potential Individual (HPI) route, this is a great option for you, and will enable you to move to the UK for 2-3 years.

The High Potential Individual Visa route is for recent graduates of top global universities, who want to work, or look for work in the UK, following the successful completion of a course of study equivalent to a UK bachelor's degree level or above. It is an unsponsored route so there is a great deal of flexibility. The Home Office's Global Universities lists dictate who is eligible to apply. These are accessible here from 2016-2021. Unfortunately, top UK universities are not on the lists, and there is no scope for applications from other global universities which are not listed, even where the particular course undertaken is world-leading.
