Studying in Australia is like a dream come true for many international students. In fact, it’s an excellent way to gain new skills while experiencing the unique Aussie lifestyle. The country is a home to some world-class universities, outlandish English schools, and practical vocational colleges.
If you are on the brink of completing your studies and want to stay here for an extended period, a Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) is your best starting point.
The visa is relevant for the overseas students who have just graduated from an Australian university or educational institution. The visa allows international students to live, study and work in the country temporarily after they have completed their studies. This visa has two streams:
- Graduate Work Stream
- Post-Study Work Stream
Eligibility criteria for this visa include that you must:
- Not more than 50 years of age
- Hold an eligible visa
- Have recent qualification in a CRICOS-registered course
- Meet additional requirements for the relevant stream
- Enclose the evidence that you meet the English language requirement for your visa application
When it comes to the length of Subclass 485 visa, it depends on the stream that you applied in. For example, Graduate Work Stream visa is valid for 18 months from the date it is granted. On the other hand, Post-study Work Stream visa lasts for two to four years, depending more on the highest qualification you have applied.
The total cost of the visa is AUD 1500, and the processing time is around 66 days to 5 months for the Graduate Work Stream, while 28 days to 36 days for the Post-Study Stream.
Meanwhile, bridging visa Australia is granted to allow you stay in Australia while you’re waiting for an application to be processed, or to give lawful status while you make sufficient arrangements to depart the country. There are five types of bridging visas, including:
- Bridging Visa A (BVA)
- Bridging Visa B (BVB)
- Bridging Visa C (BVC)
- Bridging Visa D (BDV), and
- Bridging Visa E (BVE)
