Those graduates who have finished their studies in Australia may apply for a temporary graduate visa – subclass 485. So if you wish to remain in Australia after your student visa<\/a> expires then you can go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The visa is temporary, but you can apply for a permanent visa<\/a> after working in Australia for a few years. Depending on your studies, you might have to live in a regional zone in Australia and work in a field that is related to your research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon completing their studies in Australia, an international student wishing to work there is granted a short-term graduate visa- TR 485. Work visas<\/a> like this one allow you to stay in Australia for a short time and work there, but they can only be applied for once per person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two streams you can apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa Subclass 485 visa: <\/p>\n\n\n\n When applying for Temporary Graduate Visa Subclass 485, make sure you provide the following documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chiefly you should prepare a copy of all the information details on your passport pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You must provide proof that you have completed your studies.

This assessment must be submitted along with your application. However, post-study work visas do not require a skills assessment. Only graduate stream visas do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then the documents you need to provide are copies of your partner’s identification, a copy of your marriage certificate (if applicable), and proof of registered relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Explicitly taking a minor child with you requires a birth certificate or a family book and a statutory declaration or parental consent form 1229<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The form 47a<\/a> and proof of dependency are required for adults with dependent children.
