英国毕业生喜讯：Tier 2工作签证配额优先考虑留学生

英国移民政策对留学生毕业后就业倾斜。2016年10月之后，留学生拿Tier 2工签配额将增加权重。这意味着，去毕业后，能留在英国当地找工作的可能性将提高不少。喜大普奔！

下面小编就带你来逐条分析这一系列对于毕业生的利好消息：

1. 配额优先考虑给毕业生。

From October 2016, however, Tier 2 visa applications from overseas graduates will receive greater weighting within the monthly Tier 2 visa allocation system, granting them a higher chance of approval within this competitive system.

因工作签证配额有限，而且是逐月发放，发完后需等下一个月。以往很多学生获得职位，但因配额问题不得不等待配额，或因剩余签证时间不足不得不放弃工作机会，所以该条款的实施，对于今年的毕业生，可谓是及时雨。

2. 新政允许毕业生获得工作签证后，通过培训期后，转换职位和职能。

The new rules will also allow graduate visa holders to change roles within their sponsor organisation once their training period is over and they have secured a permanent position. This will allow both employers and their graduate migrant staff more flexibility in maximising the reach of in-house talent.

以往获得工作签证的毕业生在培训完后从事正式工作时，往往雇主会调整其工作职责和薪酬，但需向移民局申报这些变动，否则雇主和雇员都将被视为违反移民法。新条款体现出了英国移民局在制定政策时也考虑到了实际工作的需要，一改以往的刻薄死板。

3. Tier 2最低薪资上调，但毕业生不受影响。

Despite the minimum salary requirement for Tier 2 (General) applicants increasing to 30,000 by April next year, this requirement will remain at 20,800 for Tier 2 applications from new entrants (applicants who are either under 26 years of age, are transferring from a Tier 4 visa, or have been hired through a milk round recruitment process). The new rules listed above are just a small part of the upcoming changes to the UK immigration rules.

尽管从明年四月起，Tier 2 工签的最低工资标准将上调至 30,000，但反过来其实对广大留学生无疑是一个利好消息。在有经验工作者的工资标准提高之后，将会刺激英国雇主选择刚刚从大学毕业、须付薪水低、潜力大、签证转换更加容易的留学生群体。

结语：基于以上层面分析，从实际操作角度考虑，这些新政无不是在向留学生示好。在英求职并非难上加难，通过求学途径实现留英梦仍然是目前对于大多数留学生来说的最佳方式。
