A Graduate Visa itself doesn't directly lead to settlement in the UK. It allows you to stay and work in the UK for a limited time (usually 2 years, or 3 for PhD graduates) after you complete your degree. To settle, you'll need to switch to another visa category (like a Skilled Worker visa) before your Graduate Visa expires, and then meet the requirements for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after a qualifying period on that new visa. So, the Graduate Visa is a stepping stone, not a guaranteed path to settlement
