Both of the ATO and post-IR paths have ‘Right to live and study in the UK without sponsorship’ in the description. I think it may have changed due to the uplift in the required salary for the skilled...

Clearly you wouldn’t have a 1st in Aero Eng from Oxbridge if you’d done your GCSEs that badly.

Type rating, accommodation, the plethora of acronym based courses that come at the end of training. That’s the reality, unless you get one of these golden tickets.
