FAQ

Questions about this guide

Is the Student Visa to PR roadmap free?

Yes. Enter your name and email and the roadmap is sent to your inbox.

Can a student visa lead to permanent residency?

A student visa itself is temporary, but many graduates go on to a Temporary Graduate visa and then a skilled or employer sponsored pathway. Eligibility depends on your occupation, qualifications and circumstances.

Do you help with choosing a course?

Yes. We are both a registered migration agent and a qualified education agent (QEAC 15354), so course selection and visa strategy are planned together.
