Have you completed your studies and have not received a completion letter to apply for Subclass 485 and your visa is expiring soon?
You do not have to apply for a student visa extension, apply for a visitor visa or overstay your current, instead, if you have a valid job offer, you can apply for a COVID visa Subclass 408 and lodge Subclass 485 within 6 months of your studies completion.
If you need Immigration assistance get in touch by making an appointment for a phone/video consultation or ask for a written consultation.
