With the announced new visa setting Australian government also extended measures to recognize international students and temporary visa holders offshore online study periods similar on campus to make them eligible for a temporary graduate visa.

“The changes are targeted to not only support international students but are also a crucial component of our economic recovery and will help us retain and attract skilled workers.” Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services, and Multicultural Affairs Alex Hawke said.

Sydney-based Nepalese Solicitor and Registered Migration Agent Hem Raj Bhatta consider the Australian government’s this reform is exciting for international students. In his view, the change will give international students more time to stay on a temporary graduate visa, and that extra year would help them build careers and settle in Australia.
