How to renew the Australian study visa when it expires? What are the conditions for renewing the study visa?

Students studying in Australia need a legal visa, so that they can stay smoothly and ensure normal study. I want to know how to renew my study visa in Australia after it expires. What is the specific situation?

Renewal status

First, the study time is prolonged

Under normal circumstances, the workload of the school is four courses per semester, two semesters a year. However, there are two situations that require student visa renewal:

If students feel that they can't keep up with their study progress, they can reduce the amount of homework per semester to 75% with reasonable reasons, that is, they can take three courses per semester. In this way, the actual time to complete the degree is longer than expected, and the original visa is not long enough to be renewed;

Due to the difficulty of individual subjects, some students unfortunately fail the course, which will also prolong the duration of the original visa and need to renew the failed course.

Second, attend the graduation ceremony

Generally speaking, if the course ends in July, the graduation ceremony will usually be held in 65438+ 10 or even in 165438+ 10 of the same year, but most students' student visas will expire at the end of August.

If you want to take a graduation trip 2-3 months before the graduation ceremony, have a dinner farewell with friends in Australia, or invite your parents to return to China after the graduation ceremony, you can apply for a tourist visa to ensure your legal residence in Australia.

Third, you need to re-register.

If you plan to continue your postgraduate studies in Australia after completing your undergraduate studies, you should be prepared to apply for a postgraduate visa in advance.
