Tier 1 (Post-study work) - closed to new applicants
Settlement
This section explains how the time you spend in the post-study worker category does not count towards the period you need to spend in the United Kingdom before being eligible to live permanently in the United Kingdom (known as 'settlement' or 'indefinite leave to remain').
Your leave in the post-study worker category does not allow you to apply to live permanently in the United Kingdom.
