What to Do If Your Australian Visa Runs Out Before Your Next Chance
We discuss the critical situation for those on student visas or 485 visas in Australia, where tightened rules since October mean another enrollment doesn’t guarantee a new visa. We explain that an expression of interest or even an invitation for skilled migration doesn’t provide a bridging visa, so waiting can be risky. We cover potential options like employer sponsorship or partner visas, but emphasize that each case is unique and copying others’ strategies can be costly. We advise seeking tailored advice before deadlines force a decision.
