I'm an Australian citizen, looking to live in the UK as a doctor. I know its a pretty slim chance, but I'm more worried if its feasible at the moment- so is it possible for me to complete a med degree at some university in the UK, as most of the courses seem to take 5 years, then apply for citizenship to stay on in the UK? Especially to do my residency?
I'm a bit confused to how the whole residency deal works, especially because I've had some answers saying that even if I complete my degree overseas, I must do my residency in Australia, and I don't understand why.
It'd be really great to get some help on this, thank you so much!
Can I complete a medical degree in a foreign country, then apply for citizenship to stay in that country for my residency?

✔ 最佳答案
Your problem is that the residency requires a work permit. Without that you cannot even work, let alone apply for citizenship. Do you have a British born grandparent? If you do, you may be able to get an ancestral visa which will allow you to work in the UK for up to five years. Otherwise your university would have to tell you whether they can help with this.I have a Korean friend who is doing her residency in the UK right now so I know work permits exist for this but she is doing Medicine at Oxford. Some other universities may have a more limited supply of residencies available. If that is the case, they are likely to give preference to students who do not need visas.

Nope.
To apply for citizenship, you need to be a legal resident with a spouse or work visa - student visas specifically do not count for this requirement.
You'd be better off completing your training in Australia (which would also be considerably cheaper, and you'd be able to get a student loan etc) then look to apply for a work visa in the UK once you've done so.
