Are you looking to study in Australia and currently hold a Visitor Visa (subclass 600) or Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485)?
There has been a recent change to the Australian immigration policy that may impact your plans. As of July 1, 2024, individuals holding these visas can no longer apply for a student visa onshore in Australia. This policy aims to streamline the visa application process and address concerns about “visa hopping.”
What are your options?
While this update may seem daunting, there are still pathways to pursue your academic goals in Australia. Here at Skillverse Education & Migration, we’re here to guide you through the revised process:
- Apply for a student visa offshore: This might be the most suitable option for many students. By applying from your home country, you can avoid the restrictions of the new policy. Our team can assist you with navigating the application process and ensuring you meet all the requirements.
- Explore alternative visa options: Depending on your circumstances, there might be other visa pathways available. We can help you assess your eligibility for visas like the Post-Study Work Visa (subclass 485) or explore vocational education options that might have different visa requirements.
