THE MP FOR Ross, Skye and Lochaber, Ian Blackford, has called for the re-introduction of the post-study work visa in Scotland.
The SNP party conference endorsed the motion to attract international students and enable people to remain in the Highlands, contributing to the Scottish economy.
Kate Forbes, MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, said: ‘I think it’s ridiculous a pilot post-study work visa has been rolled out in a few universities in England when here in Scotland there is cross-party support for such a scheme.
