A UK-based Lady has received a permit to live and work in the country, and this gladdens her heart.
She shared her happiness with her followers on TikTok after she received the work visa.
In the video, Solace Ojotule said she switched from her graduate student visa to a work visa.

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."
