Study in Australia: How a Student Visa Can Lead to Permanent Residence

Australia continues to attract international students due to its high-quality education system and strong post-study migration opportunities. A Student visa (subclass 500) allows eligible students to study full-time at an approved institution while living in Australia.

While studying, students can work limited hours and gain exposure to Australian workplace culture. After completing their studies, many graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which offers post-study work rights and helps graduates gain skilled employment experience.

Choosing the right course and education provider is critical. Not all qualifications support skilled migration or employer sponsorship pathways. Course selection should align with long-term migration goals, including occupation lists, skills assessments, and state or employer demand.

Student visa holders must comply with visa conditions, including maintaining enrolment, meeting attendance requirements, and satisfying the Genuine Student requirement. Failure to meet these obligations can result in visa cancellation.
