Hi Good day,

This is not my case but from a friend who is a
student visa holder. He asked for help and thought
if anyone of you might have any idea on how he
will be going through this.


My friend is a student visa holder and his
visa will expire december of this year. Now, his
concerned is that the company that he is working
at the moment is willing to absorbed him but have
asked him to know the requirements and process.
With this regards below are his queries?

* Will he be able to upgrade his visa soon from
student to work permit?

* If it is possible, does he needs go back to the
Philippines to commence the process or is it
possible to just stay here.

* What are the requirements and how soon can he
start the application if this is possible? (As
ILR holders needs 28 days to apply before expiry
of visa)

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
