Britain’s Home Office launched a new visa scheme on May 30, hoping to attract the “brightest and best” from abroad who have just started their careers.
The High Potential Individual scheme, one of three new routes for obtaining a visa, is open to graduates from the world’s top 50 universities, allowing eligible individuals to enter the UK without a job offer. Applicants with a bachelor’s and master’s degree can apply for a two-year visa, and PhDs for a three-year visa.
