Introduction to the types of work visas for Australian students after graduation

Australian students need to apply for a work visa to work in Australia after graduation. There are two main types of work visas. One is the 485 visa, which allows international students to stay in Australia for a period of time and accumulate work experience. The other is a 457 long-term business visa, valid for 4 years, during which you can return multiple times. It is more suitable for people who have stable jobs in Australia. The following is a detailed introduction:

Class 485 visa

The new graduate work visa provides an opportunity for newly graduated students to spend some time in Australia and gain valuable Australian work experience while completing their education in Australia. Undergraduate or master students will get a two-year work visa after graduation, and they can study any major without looking for a job first.

Class 485 visa requirements

Meet the requirements of studying in Australia (4 semesters, usually 2 years); The total score of IELTS is 6, and the single item is not less than 6; Only those who have been awarded an Australian undergraduate degree or above will be considered. To put it simply, this two-year work visa means that no matter what major students study, they can get a two-year work visa as long as they study for more than two years.

Class 457 visa

457 is a business work visa valid for 4 years, during which you can make multiple trips, take your family with you, and minor children can attend public schools for free. If you hold this visa and have worked in Australia for 2 years, you can apply for 186 Permanent Resident (PR).
