Temporary Graduate Visa In Australia
The Temporary Graduate visa subclass 485 is designed for eligible international students who have recently completed study in Australia and want to remain temporarily to live, work and gain experience.
For many graduates, it is an important bridge between study and a future skilled, employer-sponsored or permanent visa pathway.
Temporary Graduate Visa subclass 485
This visa can be valuable because it may give you time to build Australian work experience, improve your English, prepare a skills assessment or explore state nomination and employer sponsorship options. Home Affairs describes the 485 visa as a temporary visa that allows eligible international students to live, study and work in Australia after finishing their studies.
Timing is critical with the 485 visa. Applicants need to understand eligibility rules, course requirements, English testing, health insurance, skills assessment requirements where relevant and lodgement deadlines. Small mistakes can be costly, particularly where an applicant’s student visa is close to expiring.
