I am a 2010 passout and currently working. Am planning to go to UK for my MS.Do we get work permits after completing the degree?

Earlier those who study in Uk were getting Post study work visa for two years. Now this route is totally closed with effect from 31,March,2012. Now only afte completing your studies if you want to extend the visa you should ahve a job with minimum of 20000 GBP per year. If you ahve ajob offer like that then you can apply for tier 2 visa. for three years or five years based on your job contract.

Varun.As a UK resident, I will strongly advice you not to come to UK hoping that you will get a work permit. The current British Govt has removed almost all work permits that have been issued to students. Your only option is to find an employer in UK who can offer you a job after completing your studies.

Hi Varun, In order to get the work permit, you need to have the employment offer and letter of sponsorship, from the employer in UK, until and unless you have these documents, you would not be able to get the work permit. Hope it helps you in the best way. Feel free to raise more queries, otherwise you may close the question by liking it or by marking it as the best answer. All the best!
