Student Visa to Work Visa: Fixed Job, Guaranteed Salary & Sponsor Switch

Is your study visa expiring or nearing completion? Transition lawfully to an employer-sponsored work visa in your study destination with a verified employer, a binding fixed salary contract, and standard company benefits.

For graduating students

Designed specifically for students currently on study visas or post-study work permits abroad.

Verified sponsor employers

Introductions to employers on official registers (UK CoS sponsors, Canada LMIA, Australia SID).

Fixed salary contracts

Offers structured to meet or exceed official government salary thresholds with full transparency.

Full company benefits

Statutory health coverage, pension/superannuation, paid leave, and relocation terms.

Why international students must plan the work visa switch early

If you travelled abroad from Gujarat, Punjab, Maharashtra, Delhi, or any of India’s 28 states — or from Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Pakistan — on a study visa, your study period will soon reach its end. When classes finish, your student visa expiry clock starts ticking.

Remaining in the country legally requires transitioning onto a lawful work visa before your current permission expires. A standard tourist or visitor visa will not give you full-time working rights, and overstaying damages your future immigration record irreparably. We connect graduating students with genuine employers on approved government sponsorship registers who issue valid employment contracts with fixed salaries and full statutory benefits.

Country-by-country transition rules and salary standards

Every destination country has distinct rules for switching from a student visa to an employer-sponsored work visa. Here is how the key destinations work:

  • United Kingdom: Switch from a Student Visa or Graduate Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa. The employer must hold a Home Office Sponsor Licence and issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). Salary must meet the relevant standard or new-entrant threshold (e.g. £38,700 base or discounted new-entrant rates for recent UK graduates).
  • Canada: International graduates holding a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) or completing DLI studies can transition into employer-supported LMIA work permits, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), or Express Entry Canadian Experience Class (CEC) with a defined NOC code and prevailing wage.
  • Australia: Move from a Subclass 500 Student Visa to a Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa, and subsequently onto a Subclass 482 (Skills in Demand / TSS) employer-sponsored work visa with a fixed annual salary meeting the TSMIT threshold ($73,150+ AUD).
  • Germany: University graduates are entitled to an 18-month job-seeker residence permit, switching directly into an EU Blue Card or skilled worker permit once a qualified contract matching annual statutory salary thresholds is secured.
  • New Zealand: Transition from a Post-Study Work Visa to an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) with a contract meeting the official median wage threshold.

Fixed job contract, salary guarantees and employee benefits

A genuine employer sponsorship requires a formal employment contract detailing your exact job title, assigned SOC/NOC occupation code, hours per week, fixed annual gross salary, and company benefits. We verify that every employer introduction meets government compliance rules so your visa filing cannot be rejected for wage undercutting or sham roles.

  • Contractually verified gross annual or monthly salary meeting statutory minimums
  • National health insurance / NHS / private employer health cover registration
  • Statutory annual leave, paid sick leave, and public holidays
  • Company pension or retirement superannuation contributions
  • Clear workplace protection under local employment legislation

Support for students originating from all Indian states & South Asia

Whether you completed your earlier schooling or bachelor’s degree in Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, or in Dhaka, Lahore, Kathmandu, or Colombo, our counsellors assess your complete academic background, previous visa documentation, and target country timelines.

All consultations are conducted remotely via WhatsApp, phone, or video call directly with you abroad, or in person with your family at our Surat head office.

Protect yourself from visa and job fraud

A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.

  • Never pay anyone to "buy" a job offer, sponsorship certificate or visa
  • Check the employer on the official register or company registry of that country
  • Be wary of offers with no interview, no contract, or pressure to pay quickly
  • Never submit false, altered or backdated documents — refusals and bans can follow

How Siddhivinayak Overseas helps

We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.

The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.

  • Eligibility check against current official rules
  • Introductions to registered employers with genuine vacancies — you are never charged for a job offer
  • CV, document checklist and application preparation
  • Interview preparation for employer and visa stages
  • Written, itemised fees before you pay anything
