European Union Parliament has passed a new harmonized Study Visa System for students from Non European Union countries.
The new directive is that students and researchers who complete their education in any European Union Member state will be allowed to stay at least for 9 months ( you can stay for longer) in order to look for jobs or set up businesses.
The new Study Visa Rules are intended to attract skilled Non EU International students to choose EU Member states as their top education destination.
Key benefits include EU Member states will gain highly skilled graduates who will contribute in building up their economy, students can move freely within Member States without new visa applications, Researchers can bring their family members with them and the family members are entitled to work.
Watch this space for update on details and visa application procedure.
Seems to me that EU Member States want to tap into the ever increasing number of international students dissatisfied with recent harsh UK Immigration laws which took away the rights of foreign graduates to stay back in UK even for one month to seek employment and gain some work experience.
Hmmmmm. What's the catch?
