Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) Expiring Soon?
If you are currently on a Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) and your visa is about to expire, your options may be limited. It is important to understand the right pathway before making any decision.
β You cannot apply for a Student Visa
β There is no real benefit in applying for a Visitor Visa
However, there may still be other visa pathways available depending on your circumstances:
β Subclass 407 β Training Visa
β Subclass 408 β Temporary Activity Visa
β Subclass 482 β Skills in Demand Visa
β Subclass 186 β Employer Nomination Scheme
Skilled migration options may also be possible if you receive an invitation:
β Subclass 189 β Skilled Independent Visa
β Subclass 190 β State Nominated Visa
β Subclass 491 β Regional Visa
π Note: If you do not have an invitation from the State or Department of Home Affairs, visas like 189, 190, and 491 may not currently be available to you.
In that case, Employer Sponsored Visas may be the best pathway:
β‘ Subclass 482
β‘ Subclass 186
β‘ Subclass 407 Training Visa
Every case is different, and the right option depends on your profile, work experience, and eligibility.
