For those who have recently completed their studies and are considering their next steps, navigating the **Australian visa system is a critical decision**. The choice between a **Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)** and an alternative student visa represents a significant point in your migration journey.
The duration of a Temporary Graduate visa varies based on your level of education: graduates with a Certificate or Diploma may be eligible for an **18-month visa**, while those with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree can receive a visa for **2-3 years**.
It is important to recognise that this visa is a temporary period designed for you to meet the requirements for a **permanent residency pathway**. **Strategic planning is essential** during this time to ensure a successful transition.
At **ACET Migration**, we understand the complexities of this process. We offer a free 485 consultation to discuss your specific circumstances and help you develop a clear strategy toward achieving permanent residency. We invite you to schedule a visit to our office for a personal consultation to begin your professional pathway to Australian permanent residency.
