Residence Visa

Residence Visa

Once you have completed your studies abroad, many countries offer a structured path from a post-study work permit to long-term or permanent residency. Neknows helps students and working professionals understand which residency route applies to them, what the eligibility criteria are, and how to plan for it well before graduation.

Countries like Canada, Australia and Germany offer clearly defined pathways from a study permit to a post-study work visa and, eventually, to permanent residency for those who meet the points, work experience or skills criteria required.

Pathways to Permanent Residency After You Study

Many of our study-abroad destinations offer a clear route from a post-study work permit to permanent residency once you have the right work experience and meet the points or eligibility criteria set by that country's immigration authority.

Neknows helps you understand which residency pathway applies to your situation, whether that's Canada's Express Entry system, Australia's points-tested skilled migration, or Germany's settlement permit after time spent on an EU Blue Card, and what needs to be in place before you apply.
