What this calculator uses

The inputs on this page are Option A verified duration (months), Option B verified duration (months). The calculation uses the values you enter for Option A verified duration (months), Option B verified duration (months) and returns the planning output described by the tool.

How to read the result

Duration alone is not enough; compare eligibility, application timing, work restrictions, dependants and route-to-work conditions.

What the number does not prove

Immigration rules are time-sensitive and status-specific. The responsible government authority controls visa eligibility, work rights, dependants, funds and post-study permissions.

Best next step

Use the result as a pre-screen and route finder only. Recheck the current government rule immediately before filing or making a financial/travel commitment.

Verify the governing ruleThis page explains a planning method, not a universal licensing rule. If your credential has a mandatory total, category, provider, or reporting rule, use the issuing authority as the final source.
Important: This is a planning aid. Universities, scholarship providers, immigration authorities, recognition bodies and professional regulators control their own decisions and changing requirements.
