T4 Student Visa -> T5 GAE Visa 현지 전환 > 비자

안녕하세요?

영국에서 석사 1년 후 현지 연구소에서 visiting fellow로 1년 추가 체류하려고 합니다

처음 1년을 Tier 4 Student visa로 체류하다 현지에서 Tier 5 GAE 비자로 switch 하는 것이
가능할런지요?

GAE 비자로 전환 관련하여 아래와 같은 글을 발견하였는데 실무상 어떻게 적용되고 있는지
가늠이 어렵다보니, 실제 비자발급 시 저와 같은 상황에서 현지전환이 가능할지 문의드립
니다.



‘Switching’ to the GAE route

GA4.17. People in the UK on another immigration route are not generally permitted to
‘switch’ (change route) to the GAE route from within the UK. If you wish to sponsor a
worker on the GAE route but they are in the UK on another immigration route, they must
normally leave the UK and apply for entry clearance.

 

GA4.18. The only exception to this is where the person was last granted permission as
a Student (formerly Tier 4), they have completed a recognised bachelor’s or
postgraduate degree and are being sponsored to undertake either:

  a period of postgraduate professional training or work experience necessary to obtain a
  professional qualification or professional registration in the same professional field as
  that qualification

  an internship for up to 12 months which directly relates to the qualification

provided, in both cases, they will not be filling a permanent vacancy and
their employer does not intend to employ the worker in the UK once the training or work
experience has ended.
