Australia Student Visa Overview :

Australia boasts one of the world’s top international education systems, offering several visa options for those wishing to study and even extend their stay afterward. The main pathways are the Student Visa and the Temporary Graduate Visa.

The Student Visa (Subclass 500) allows international students to live and study in Australia for the duration of their program, with some visas valid for up to five years. Courses must be offered by a registered Australian education provider that is approved to teach international students.

The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) enables graduates to stay in Australia temporarily to gain valuable work experience. This experience can contribute towards requirements for skilled migration or employer-sponsored visas.
