Frequently asked questions

Can my family come with me?

In many cases you can include eligible family members (partner and dependent children) in your application or have them apply later. We'll advise based on your situation.

Can I work on a student visa?

Student visa holders can generally work limited hours during study and more during breaks, subject to current conditions. We explain the rules that apply when you apply.

What happens after I graduate?
