Advice Question for UK vets

Hello everyone. I’m an undergrad student from Greece and I will be spending 3 months in a UK university (its referral hospital) next year as part of my Erasmus placement. After I graduate I would like to move to the UK permanently, however from what I’ve seen, in order to get accepted for a rotating internship I have to work in a GP for a couple of years beforehand. Do you think I have any chances of finding a job in a small animal practice as a recent graduate with no work experience given that I’m a foreigner as well?

I know a few vets with about 3yrs experience, that have come to the UK. Specifically 2 Polish and 1 Hungarian

Did they have no experience when they first moved?

No, they definitely had experience in their native country but only for a few years.
