What are my options after I finish my studies in Australia?

KidBookid

I want to know what options does one have in order for a person to secure a more permanent visa? Thank you all!

hello, after you finish you finish your studies, calculate your points if pede ka na dumiretso sa PR application. If not, utilize the post graduate visa 485 to look for work and gain experience related to your studies here.

KidBookid

@agentKams Hello maraming salamat. May I ask kung paano icalculate yung points.?

agentKams

@KidBookid hello for skilled visa read it here:

click mo iyong points test tab, andun iyong details.

Timalan

@agentKams, pwede po ba mag lodge agad pagka graduate? or need talaga i-utilize ang 485 visa to extend stay while processing the PR application?

agentKams

@Timalan hello, yes pede naman magstart ka na ng application ng PR mo after mo grumaduate. check mo lang timeline nung mga PR applicants sa kabilang thread how many months sila before maapprove ang visa, then you can get an estimate. baka kasi gahulin ka sa oras once may mga additional documents na kelangan mo iprovide.

@agentKams Amaraming Slamat

@agentKams, Thank you po. medyo sayang kasi ang 485 visa fee. pero after graduation po, anung visa ang pwede for extension of stay if you opt not to apply for 485 visa?

agentKams

@Timalan tourist visa lang ang alam ko. iyon nga lang wala ka work rights. kaya mas maganda na iavail mo na lang 485 visa kasi full work rights ka nun.

Timalan

@agentKams, I see. Mukha ngang mas ok an i avail ang 485 visa. Atleast we have full work rights while processing PR application. Thanks a lot!

@Timalan Yung kakilala namin ganyan yung ginawa, kinuha nya yung 485 kasi once you finished studying, you may need to register or be assessed and it takes time plus you have to wait for your invitation to apply. At least kapag naka485 ka, may peace of mind ka and at the same time you have the privilege to work on a full time basis. You can apply for PR while you're on it. Magbabayad ka pa rin naman if you opt to have another visa other than 485. 🙂

hi @Cassey. with regards sa 485 visa, since i'm only gonna do 1 year conversion course for bachelor or nursing, would i still be eligble to apply for this visa? what i read on their website kasi is "<b class="Bold">that were completed as a result of total of at least two academic years (92 weeks) study</b>"... since i'll only be doing 1 year conversion, di ako pwde mag 485 after completing the course ano? am i understanding it correctly?

Cassey

@naloolala77 Hi, Unfortunately, a 1yr conversion course is not eligible for 485 visa. Yes, your understanding is correct.

naloolala77

@Cassey what options do you think i have after doing the course? its to find an employer who will sponsor me ano?

Cassey

@naloolala77 It depends on you, you can either find someone to sponsor you especially if you have a good overseas experience or you can apply for another student visa to extend your stay here in Au until you get your PR Visa.

hi @Cassey, ask ko lang kung anong opinion mo sa Masteral? (Marketing), feeling mo ba magagamit ko sya after ko mag graduate? saka, tignan mo naman kung tama yung computation ko.

Tuition fee: $40k for 2 years, total of 6 sems.

1 sem = almost 6,700?

tapos pwede ko daw i-maximize sya until 3 years, so pano yun?

thanks, (haha, sana may sense tanong ko..) 🙂

Cassey

@lara_xxx

Hi, what do you mean by "magagamit mo"? hehe Magagamit in what aspect? For PR application, for work purposes or for 485? If you will do a 2yr course, pwede kang makapagapply for 485 Visa after mong grumaduate that is kung hindi maisip ng gov't na palitan yung rules. Yung semesters, depende sa institution na papasukan mo, if it's 3 then tama yung computation mo. 🙂 I'm not sure with the 3yr thing kung paano nila gagawin, hehe

lara_xxx

haha.. i mean, ahh.. may makukuha ba akong work na inline sa natapos o tatapusin ko (marketing)? (i know its hard to tell) huhu. naguguluhan ako sobra.

@Cassey tama ba na ang isang sem 3 months, tapos 3 weeks ang pahinga after sem?

and pano kung naisipan ko mag shift ng course? possible kaya yun sa mga intl students, or may effect sya when applying for PR?

Cassey

@lara_xxx Unfortunately, wala akong idea sa field ng marketing kung paano yung hiring process nila at kung may work na available...

Before deciding what course to take, make sure na after you finish meron siyang pathway to PR lalo na at malaki yung perang bibitawan mo. Hindi guaranteed na kapag nagaral rito eh automatically na PR na rin ang punta.

Oo tama tapos meron ding mid-semester break na 1week.

Possible naman magshift, natry namin yung from VET to Higher ED. Wala namang naging effect to our PR Application. 🙂

lara_xxx

@Cassey i agree with you. almost $40k for tuition alone..aynakupo @-) hahaha. tama ka, dapat yung pathway din, iisipin ko.

sorry ah, ang dami ko tanong but sobrang helpful ng mga advice mo. as in.. one more q. magkano ang per hour sa work dyan? iba ba rate ng sydney? if ever kasi, dun ako titira. sa tingin mo pag nag work ako pt, enough na yun para maka survive ako? considering my tuition, travel exp, food, toiletries..
