STUDY, WORK & SETTLE IN AUSTRALIA
The Australia Graduate Temporary (Subclass 485) Visa is a temporary permit for students who have held a student visa in the last 6 months. Unlike other migration visas to Australia, the Graduate Work Visa has a simpler process to quickly assess applicants since most of them have already spent significant time in Australia.
