For many years Australia has been a pro choice for students
looking to migrate for higher studies. The high rankings of Australian
Universities in the list of top universities worldwide have only been a high
contributing factor in the influx of students to Australia. There are many immigration consultants in Sydney who
facilitate the entire process of student immigration to Australia.
In addition to having multiple student visa programs, the
Government of Australia has a Student Guardian Visa (subclass 590) which allows
the applicant to stay in Australia as the guardian of an international student who
is younger than 18 years of age and is studying in Australia on a student visa.
According to DIBP, in order to be eligible for this visa, you
must:
- be a
parent or person who has custody of the student, or a relative who is 21
years or older and has been nominated in writing by a parent or someone
who has custody of the student
- not
bring family members younger than 6 years of age, except under certain
circumstances
- be
able to provide accommodation, general welfare and other support to the
student unless you are applying for this visa with the support of the
government your home country.
You can stay in
Australia for the same length of time as the student visa holder or until the
student turns 18 years of age.
If the applicant is in Australia, then according to DIBP, you
must hold a current substantive temporary visa, other than:
- Domestic
Worker (Temporary) – Diplomatic or Consular visa (subclass 426)
- Temporary
Work (International Relations) visa (subclass 403) in the Domestic Worker
(Diplomatic or consular) stream
- Diplomatic
(Temporary) visa (subclass 995) - primary visa holder only. This means a
family member of a Diplomatic (Temporary) visa (subclass 995) can apply
for a Student visa in Australia.
- Transit
visa (subclass 771)
- Visitor
visa (subclass 600) in the ‘Sponsored Family’ stream or in the ‘Approved
Destination Status’ stream.
These were the basics of the Student Guardian Visa. If you
require any assistance regarding these visas, you can take the assistance of migration agents or immigration consultants from Sydney.
