- Student Visa Application. We lodge your subclass 500 student visa application and monitor progress to decision.
Pathway to Permanent Residence
One of the key reasons international students choose Australia is the clear pathway to permanent residence after graduation:
- Subclass 500 Student → Subclass 485 Graduate (2-4 years post-study work rights)
- Subclass 485 → Subclass 189/190/491 (permanent residence via points test)
- Regional study bonus: study in regional Australia can earn additional points toward PR, and graduates may access longer subclass 485 work rights
Our education and migration teams work together to plan a long-term pathway that maximises your PR prospects.
