I am on a graduate visa that expires in 2025. I have applied for a 2024 graduate role. Will EY provide me with sponsorship once my graduate visa expires or when I get the job?
Yes as you fulfil the Right to Work requirements at application. You will need to apply for a Skilled Worker Visa before the expiration of the Grad visa, which will be checked by the team if you get an offer but this will explained to you in this instance.
For additional info:
We welcome applications from non-UK nationals but there are some restrictions you'll need to know about when you apply.
First of all, you need to make sure you meet the visa eligibility criteria for people looking to work in the UK, before you start on a programme. You can find out more about working visas from the UK Home Office - Visas and Immigration website.
The standard government processing time for a Skilled Worker visa is 8-10 weeks so we would encourage you to make your application leaving enough time for us to meet with you during the recruitment process, and if you're successful, for us to apply for your visa.
If you require visa sponsorship, most of our graduate programmes can support all the conditions set out by the Home Office Codes of Practice. They are:
Any graduate programme in Assurance, Strategy and Transactions, Consulting, Law, Technology and Tax (other than Northern Ireland)
Unfortunately, we can't support any applications for programmes other than those listed above because of the salary benchmark set by the UK government.
Please also be aware that the Home Office regularly change the immigration rules. If that happens, and the changes affect the viability of your application before your start date, we reserve the right to change how we process applications, in line with the new regulations. Having a valid right to work status in place in time for the start of the graduate programme is a mandatory condition of you being able to start work with EY.
If you're unsure about your eligibility to work in the UK, please visit the UK Home Office - Visas and Immigration website: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration
