Post Study Work Visa Australia
In 2017/18, The Post-Study Work Visa made up for 84.2 per cent of the total visa grants. That’s how popular it is, and how in-demand Australia is.
Oz has found a special place in the international arena, not only for excellent sports teams, unique flora and fauna, and surreal tourist destinations but also for a lot of other factors. The nation has emerged as a pioneer in engineering, finance, IT, business, manufacturing and several other sectors. Unsurprisingly, it is also an ideal environment for young minds, fresh graduates to ply their trade and gain experience. With this in mind, the Government has decided to make amends to the existing Post-Study Work Visa in Australia.
