A brief overview of these two popular visa types in Australia:

Australia Student Visa (Subclass 500)

The student visa (subclass 500) allows international students to study full-time at a registered educational institution in Australia. To apply for this visa, applicants need to provide several documents, including:

1. Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE) from the educational institution. This document should include details about the course, duration, tuition fees, and other relevant information.
2. Evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition fees, living costs, and travel expenses. This could include bank statements, financial aid letters, or scholarship information that demonstrates your ability to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs during your stay in Australia.
3. Proof of English language proficiency. This could be test scores from recognized English language tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or CAE. The required minimum score depends on the type of course and the institution you will be attending.
4. Health insurance coverage – Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) provided by an approved Australian insurer for the duration of your stay in Australia.
5. Passport and other personal identification documents – A valid passport, birth certificate, or national identity card (where applicable).

These documents may need to be translated into English if they are in a foreign language. Tnfast Translations, with its team of NAATI accredited translators, ensures that your documents are accurately and professionally translated to meet the requirements of the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

Graduate Temporary Visa (Subclass 485)

The graduate temporary visa (subclass 485) is designed for international students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution. This visa allows graduates to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily. There are two streams for this visa: Graduate Work stream and Post-Study Work stream. Applicants need to provide documents such as:

1. Proof of completion of an eligible course of study – Official transcripts, diploma, or certificate from the Australian educational institution where you completed your studies.
2. Evidence of English language proficiency – Test scores from recognized English language tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or CAE. The required minimum score depends on the visa stream you are applying for (Graduate Work or Post-Study Work).
3. Health insurance coverage – Adequate health insurance coverage for the duration of your stay in Australia, such as the Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) or another suitable policy.
4. Police clearance certificate, if required – A police clearance certificate from each country you have lived in for 12 months or more during the last ten years.
5. Passport and other personal identification documents.

Similar to the student visa, all supporting documents in a foreign language must be translated into English by a NAATI accredited translator. Tnfast Translations ensures that your translations meet the high standards required by the Australian government.

Pathways to get a PR from Graduate Temporary Visa

After being granted the Graduate Temporary Visa (subclass 485), you will have the opportunity to live, work, and study in Australia temporarily. This visa allows you to gain valuable work experience and improve your English language skills, making you a more competitive candidate for permanent residency (PR) in Australia. Here are some common pathways to pursue PR after obtaining a subclass 485 visa:

1. Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): This points-based visa is for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer or family member, nor nominated by a state or territory government. You must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect and receive an invitation to apply for this visa.
2. Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government. Similar to the subclass 189 visa, you must submit an EOI through SkillSelect and receive an invitation to apply. The main difference is that you need a nomination from a state or territory government.
3. Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491): This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member living in a designated regional area of Australia. You must submit an EOI through SkillSelect and receive an invitation to apply. After living and working in the designated regional area for a specified period, you may be eligible to apply for the Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) Visa (subclass 191).
4. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186): This visa is for skilled workers who are sponsored by an Australian employer. It has two streams: the Direct Entry stream and the Temporary Residence Transition stream. The latter is for subclass 482 and 457 visa holders who have worked for their employer for at least three years.
5. Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187): This visa is for skilled workers who are sponsored by an employer in a designated regional area of Australia. It also has two streams: the Direct Entry stream and the Temporary Residence Transition stream, which is for subclass 482 and 457 visa holders who have worked for their employer in a regional area for at least three years.

To be eligible for PR through any of these pathways, you must meet the specific requirements of each visa subclass, including age, English language proficiency, skills assessment, and other criteria. Please note that visa regulations and requirements can change over time. It is essential to consult the official Australian Government Department of Home Affairs website for the most up-to-date information on PR pathways and requirements.
