My name is Bogi, also known by my artist and DJ alias BOBO. I have been studying in the UK for four years and my Student Visa is about to expire at the end of October. As you all know after Brexit all EU citizens are required to apply for a Visa in order to legally reside and work in the United Kingdom. After attending university in Dundee and finishing my studies in Fine Art I have the option to elongate my visa and stay in the UK. After the one year of my Gradute Visa I would be able to apply for a Settlement Scheme, enabling me to stay here indefinitely.

Little bit of a backstory.....

I am from Hungary, an autocratic state within the EU. The main reason I moved away to another country was to search for a place where I would feel more comfortable and less fearful of what the future holds. Currently Hungary is considered the poorest European country, with high inflation, low wages and casualised corruption. Hungary has once again become a fascist, far-right state that is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous to live in especially as a woman. They've already started taking away our human rights, and will probably only become progressively radical.

After living in Scotland for four years I have built a network and a career in the arts and culture sector which I don’t want to lose. I have had a part-time job all throughout university and currently I hold two part-time positions. I have founded a collective along with friends to create safer clubbing spaces for underrepresented groups through holding events, workshops and exhibitions. Staying here would mean that I would be able to continue the life that me and my parents have built for myself and that our collective hard work would not go to waste due to a lack of funds.

The funds will be used to help pay for my Graduate Visa which is altogether GBP 1915.
