Students Visas

Australia offers a range of student visa options to support international students pursuing education at various levels. Below are the main types of student visa subclasses:

Subclass 500 – Student Visa: The Subclass 500 visa allows international students to live and study full-time in Australia in a registered course. This visa is typically valid for the duration of the study program and includes limited work rights (usually up to 48 hours per fortnight during the course and unlimited hours during breaks).
Subclass 590 – Student Guardian Visa: This visa is for parents, legal guardians, or relatives who need to accompany and care for an underage student in Australia. It allows the holder to stay for the same duration as the student visa, or until the student turns 18.
Subclass 485 – Temporary Graduate Visa: While not strictly a student visa, this visa is for international students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution. It allows them to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily, depending on their qualification level and stream (Graduate Work or Post-Study Work).

Temporary Visas

Australia offers various temporary visa options to meet short-term work, travel, and study needs. Below are some of the main types of temporary visa subclasses:

Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa: This visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to fill labor shortages when no suitable local workers are available. It is valid for up to four years, depending on the occupation and stream.
Subclass 400 – Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) Visa: This short-term visa is for highly skilled workers who are invited to Australia for short-term, non-ongoing work. It is usually granted for up to three months and, in some cases, six months.
Subclass 408 – Temporary Activity Visa: This visa allows individuals to come to Australia for specific temporary activities, such as participating in entertainment productions, sports events, or religious work. The stay period varies based on the activity.
Subclass 485 – Temporary Graduate Visa: This visa is for international students who have completed their studies in Australia. It allows them to temporarily live, study, and work in the country. The duration depends on the qualification and stream.
Subclass 417 & 462 – Working Holiday Visas: These visas are for young adults (usually aged 18-30 or 35, depending on the country) who want to holiday and work in Australia. They are generally valid for 12 months and may be extended under specific conditions.
