    Australia Grants Two Years Post-Study Extensions to International Students

    Feb 22,2023

    Australia Extend Post Study Work Visa for 2 Years

    The charm of Australia is shining day by day. Yet another significant update raises the temptation among the students. As per the latest update, the Australian government grant two years of extension of post-study work visa rights. The change will be implemented from this year 1 July 2023.

    In addition, the government also gifted international students by increasing their working hours cap from 40 hours to 48 hours per fortnight.

    About the Two Years Extension of PSW

    Certain conditions must be fulfilled by international students to be eligible for the extension. Such as,

    • Those international students who have obtained their degrees which are falling in the verified skill shortage list will be only selected by Australian Immigration.
    • This extension will add two additional years to the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) and will be benefited only international higher education graduates.
    • An important point is that the particular extension is an addition of one to two years in the present work rights. However, students will only be eligible who study, live and work in regional areas.
    • The specific identified list of eligible occupations which are in demand and students who are carrying related qualifications are only eligible for the extension.

    About Working Hours Increment

    • The Australian government has taken remarkable steps during the Wuhan COVID-19 virus pandemic. They allowed international students to work full time even during their studies to support the workforce shortage.
    • Yet again government reannounced the same capping benefit to the students. The new capping rule will be implemented from 1 July 2023. Moreover, the duration is raised from the previous level of 40 hours per fortnight to 48 hours per fortnight.
    • The news will help thousands of students during their studies. However, the premium purpose will remain the same, which is to focus on learning first and then earning.
