Student Visas
Studying in Australia has many benefits including the opportunity of becoming a permanent resident. Applicants who wish to apply for Student Visas are assessed based n the country of their passport. Applicants who are assessment level 1 (ASL1) will find it relatively easy to obtain a Student Visa whereas those who are a ASL4 will find it much more difficult. As with Visitor visas, the Department of Immigration (DIAC) takes into consideration the situation in each country when setting their assessment levels for Student Visas.
Many people apply for student visas in the hope of becoming permanent Residence at a later stage however, after they have already made arrangements they realize that the course they have applied to study will not lead to it. It is extremely important, if you are wishing to become a Permanent Resident through a Student Visa, that you study an appropriate course. After a student has complete studying in Australia they may be eligible to apply for a Skilled (Onshore) Visa which is points tested.
