If you’re a Zimbabwean considering moving to the UK, you might be deciding between a work visa and a student visa. Both have their advantages, but your choice depends on your long-term goals.
UK Work Visa: Best if you already have a job offer from a licensed UK employer. It allows you to earn money immediately and possibly settle permanently. You must meet job-specific qualifications and salary thresholds.
UK Student Visa: Ideal for those looking to study at a UK college or university. While it doesn’t allow full-time work, it’s a pathway to skilled employment after graduation through the Graduate Visa.
In short, go for a work visa if employment is your goal now. Choose a student visa if you want to invest in education and settle in the UK in the future.
