英国怎么工作签证？
对于已经拿到大学录取通知书，想要到英国去读书的同学来说，选择好学校的同时，也可以顺便考虑一下如何取得学生签证或者工作签证。 虽然从理论上说，如果你是在21岁或以上的英国大学本科或硕士毕业生，可以获得为期两年的“毕业生移民”签证（Post-Study Work）来找工作和移民。但是事实上这个政策并没有那么理想，而且真正能享受政策的留学生只是很少一部分而已；此外如果所读的专业在政府规定的限制名单上，那么该政策便无法实行了。所以建议还是通过其他方式申请工作签证以便顺利留下。 在英国获得长期工作的资格有两种方法： 一个是通过Tier 1 (General) 类别的投资者(Investor)， 杰出人才(Exceptional Talent)， 和企业家(Entrepreneur) 途径。另一种是通过Tier 2的劳工签证。 Tiers of work visas Tier 1 is a points based system where you may stay for four years if approved， with no requirement to get a job.
