🆘 Good news for international students, effective from 1/7/2023 🇦🇺
🔴 From 1 July 2023, international higher education graduates with eligible qualifications will be granted an extra two years of post-study work rights.
🔴 The allowable work hours cap for international students will be increased from 40 hours to 48 hours per fortnight.
✔️ Bachelor’s degree, stay in Australia for 4 years (additional 2 years) on 485 visa
✔️ Master's degree, stay in Australia for 5 years (additional 2 years) on 485 visa
✔️ PhD graduates, stay in Australia for 6 years (additional 2 years) on 485 visa
✔️List of professions and courses eligible under the additional 2 years after graduation policy
My 2 cents:
👉 Stick to higher education only for longer graduate visa and permanent residency pathway
👉 Australian Permanent Residency is now possible for everyone 🥳
