Study in Australia Detailed introduction to Australian accompanying visa

According to Australia’s immigration regulations regarding companion visas, the number of people eligible to apply for a guardian visa is far more than just the student’s parents. As long as the student’s relatives are over 21 years old, they can apply for a guardian visa. These relatives include spouses, brothers and sisters, (maternal) grandparents, uncles and aunts, and cousins. Even half-brothers or half-fathers are not affected. Student Guardian Visa (visa number 580) is usually used to travel to Australia as a guardian for students under the age of 18. If the student is over 18 years old, the guardian must have very special reasons to apply for this special visa.

The immigration regulations regarding accompanying student visas stipulate that the people who are eligible to apply for a guardian visa are far more than the parents of the student. As long as the student’s relatives are over 21 years old, they can apply for a guardian visa. These relatives include spouses, brothers and sisters, (maternal) grandparents, uncles and aunts, and cousins. Even half-brothers or half-fathers are not affected.

The accompanying visa is essentially a visit visa. No visit visa is allowed to work, so guardian visa holders also have condition 8101 and are not allowed to work in Australia.

However, just as a visitor visa allows short-term study in Australia, guardian visa holders can also study in Australia, such as learning English, provided that the course length does not exceed 3 months.

Generally speaking, the validity period of the visa held by a guardian visa holder depends on when the accompanying student reaches 18 years old, that is, the maximum validity period is until the accompanying student reaches 18 years old. Immigration policy stipulates that this visa is valid for a maximum of five years.

In Australia, the federal government has created a special medical insurance for overseas students. However, guardian visa holders cannot apply for this medical insurance and must purchase a relatively expensive medical insurance for temporary residence in Australia. Much more health insurance.

The above is a detailed introduction to the Australian accompanying student visa. I hope it can be of more help to students applying for visas to study in Australia.
