The visa subclass 485 gives an opportunity to students who have completed an Australian study in Australia.

Benefits of Subclass 485

The best part of this visa is that, the student as well as the family gets full time work rights. This is a huge benefit to the applicants as then they can work in any field and can earn to repay the loan they had taken for completion of their study.

This visa also allows the applicants to study full time in any other course.

Now you may think that why a person will study again if he or she has already studied full time in Australia

Good… it has 2 answers: –

  1. The main student applicant may do another study in a different field which has possibility of getting a Permanent Residency visa of Australia.
  2. In case the partner of the main system visa wants to study and get valuable skills which can help them to have a better future in their home country or the partner can do a study which has scope of Permanent Residency in Australia.

In any case, Subclass 485 is a very important visa in the journey of the applicants either to settle in Australia or to go back to their home country taking the knowledge and skills.

Subclass 485 can be divided in 2 parts

Both the above-mentioned streams have different periods of stay and as per the latest updates from the Department of Home Affairs

The period of Subclass 485 has recently been extended, depending upon the course and the location studied in Australia.

The requirements have recently been eased due to covid 19, but we will suggest to refer to the Department of Home Affairs website or to speak with the right Migration agent before you apply for this visa as any error:

  • Main requirement of subclass 485 is to get the completion letter or the degree of the course completed.
  • You also need to submit the transcripts of study completed in Australia.
