Graduate Visas

Graduate visas allow eligible international graduates to remain in Australia for a temporary period after completing their studies. These visas are commonly used to gain work experience, develop skills, and support longer-term migration planning.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice to graduates on eligibility requirements, timing considerations, and the conditions that apply to graduate visas. We assist clients to understand how their qualification, course completion date, and visa history may affect available options.

Graduate visa applications are assessed against specific criteria, including study requirements, English language standards, and application timeframes. Errors or delays can result in missed opportunities or refusal. We advise clients on preparing applications accurately and on managing compliance during the visa period.

​

We also provide guidance on how graduate visas may align with future pathways, including skilled migration or employer-sponsored options where available, allowing clients to make informed decisions about their next steps.
