Convert student's visa to work visa

Checks show that it is possible to switch from a UK student visa to a skilled worker visa if one meets the requirements.

According to the UK government website:

"You might be able to apply to change (‘switch’) to a Skilled Worker visa if you’re already in the UK on a different type of visa. If you’re currently in the UK on a Student visa, you must have completed the course you were sponsored to study. Your job start date is after your course has finished and you have studied for a PhD for at least 24 months."

Speaking to Legit.ng on the topic, Toyyib Adewale Adelodun highlighted the advantages of a skilled worker visa in the UK. He said the type of visa one possesses matters and determines how one works.

He said:

"If you come to the UK with a visitor visa, you have no right to work. If you come as a student, you are legally allowed to work 20 hours a week. With a minimum wage of £11/hour, that is £880 a month. Depending on where you live, that could just be your monthly rent. Your school fees are around £15,000 a year. So you can't pay school fees with that arrangement. You won't see that money till you graduate and get a job. The advice is come with the right visa, otherwise UK can be hell on earth."
