Temporary Graduate Visa Important Update For International Students

24 Oct 2018

Compliments to the foreign students who have completed their studies this year! With your education finished it is now a chance to imagine about your future in Australia and whether you see to stay long term or short term.

To live in Australia maximum students will need a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa.

This visa is beneficial in giving full work rights for 4 years or granting extra time for students to finish steps that will further gain appropriate work experience or grow their points score when seeking permanent residence to australia

Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) Visa

The 485 visa is for foreign students who finish 2 years of the Australian study. Depending on the guidelines being satisfied the visa will be awarded for either 18 months, two years, three years or four years.

The 485 visa is an excellent option as it offers comprehensive work and study rights. The general opinion is that 485 visas are simple to get accepted which can be far away from the fact. Many extremely qualified and intelligent experts have done mistakes in submitting their own 485 visa application, and when it has been denied, they have missed the opportunity to continue in Australia for the long term.

Applying for subclass 485 visa

To begin, there are 02 streams in the subclass 485 visa:

485 Graduate Work: If you read in Australia prior to 5 Nov 2011, or you read at a level under a Bachelor degree and have a profession on the appropriate profession list, then you may be qualified to appeal for the Graduate Work stream. This visa is awarded for a tenure of 18 months.

485 Post Study Work: If you read at degree level or above then you may fit for the Post Study Work stream. This visa is awarded for 2-4 years depends on the study level.

If an appeal is made in the wrong stream, the subclass 485 visa can be denied. If it is awarded, it is possible to have the lower validity period of 18 months rather giving 2 to 4 years, which typically cannot be modified.

Conclusion

A 485 visa provides an excellent opportunity to reside longer in Australia with complete study and work rights but, it can be lost by making a small mistake in the application.
