High potential visa is a customized route for High Potential Individuals from the world’s top universities!
UK Visas and Immigration launched the High Potential Individual (HPI) visa route on May 30, 2022, for candidates rewarded Graduation and Post-Graduation between November 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022.
The HPI visa aims to provide a high inflow of skilled young workers to British businesses.
The HPI visa route is designed to attract global UK university graduates. This gives an opportunity for the students to start their early career, and it’s a short-term visa that can be opted for after completing their courses in top universities. The UK government launches this visa to benefit the UK workforce.
The HPI visa is specially designed for students who have graduated during the period, as mentioned earlier. The eligible students can apply for an HPI visa without even having a job offer in the UK.
The government of the UK will post on the government website about the eligible universities that have shown good results between the years 2016 and 2020.
The UK has multiple universities with top 50 rankings that many international students prefer.
