Visa: does its graduate roles sponsor a UK visa?
Only in part. Visa sponsors its graduate roles for some tracks or offices, not all. Visa, the payments network, hires UK graduates into fixed roles in one part of the business rather than a rotational scheme. Visa says graduate and intern roles have no fixed opening date but it aims to advertise them all by the end of September each year for a start the following year. When checked on 1 October 2026, no UK graduate postings were live on Visa's Workday job site. On sponsorship, Visa's graduate and intern FAQ says it applies local immigration law at the application stage and will try to support sponsorship for candidates who meet local requirements and are a good fit.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Visa?
This is a willingness to try, screened at the very first application stage, not a guarantee, so answer the eligibility questions in the form carefully. Roles were not yet posted despite Visa's end of September target, so set an alert.
When do applications open for the Visa graduate roles?
No published date as of 1 October 2026. Checked on 2026-10-01 against Visa's own site.
How should I confirm Visa's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Visa's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
