Learning today. Planning thoughtfully.
Make space
for what comes next.
A course, a graduation date or a new ambition can open important questions. Start with your study goals and understand the visa considerations around them.

Start with the bigger picture
For prospective students, current students and graduates exploring their next step.
Student and graduate visas have different purposes. A study plan needs to make sense for you, and any further visa requires its own assessment. Your location, previous visas, course, completion dates and current conditions can all matter. Rules change: do not assume that a route used by another student is available to you.
Study does not guarantee a graduate visa, employment or permanent residence. Check current application-location and eligibility rules before changing courses, travelling or lodging another application.

A little more clarity
Your questions, considered.
Does studying in Australia guarantee permanent residence?
No. Education choices and future visa eligibility are separate matters. A later visa depends on its own requirements and your circumstances at that time.
Can I discuss my options before selecting a course?
Yes. Bring your education goals and any courses you are considering. Do not enrol solely on the assumption of a future migration outcome.
Can I apply for another visa while in Australia?
That cannot be determined from this page. Your current visa, conditions, application history and current rules must be checked before deciding where or when you can apply.
