Student Visas - Study Opportunities in Australia

Study in Australia

There are a number of student visas that will allow you to study various courses in Australia. Depending on your main course of study we will find you the right visa type.

Pursuing higher education abroad can be an exciting and transformative journey, and Australia has emerged as one of the top destinations for international students. With its world-renowned universities, vibrant cities, and diverse cultural experiences, Australia offers an enriching environment for learning and personal growth.

Student Guardian; Parents or relatives can apply for a visa to stay in Australia as the guardian of a student who is studying in Australia.

There are many visa options (also for permanent residence) that become available to applicants who have successfully completed full-time study in Australia.

Our office may be able to assist you in electing a suitable course at an accredited education service provider (including private colleges and universities) throughout Australia. We can also assist in obtaining an enrolment for your chosen course of study, to set you on your way to commence studies in Australia.

Types of Student Visas

Australia offers various student visa subclasses, each tailored to different levels of study and purposes. The most common ones include:

Subclass 500: This is the primary student visa that covers a wide range of study programs, from vocational courses to doctoral degrees.

Subclass 590: Designed for international students undertaking non-award foundation studies or other full-time courses that do not lead to an Australian award.

Subclass 485: Also known as the Temporary Graduate visa, this allows international students to work in Australia temporarily after completing their studies.

I was referred to Mr. Murali by one of my friends and his service was phenomenal. I had to apply for a spouse visa and I took Murali's service in 2019. Though there was a delay of over 3 years from my end to share the documents due to other commitments I had, he did honor the agreement and helped us get the visa in under 3 months once the documents were shared. I highly recommend Mr. Murali for any immigration services if you are looking for someone who is straightforward and keep his words.

I am Srinivasan. I received SA 491 grant recently. I was referred to Mr. Murali by my friend and former colleague Mr. Karthik.I have lived in USA for 10+ years and was very skeptical about migrating to Australia initially considering my age. Immigrating to Australia is a complex process.My first communication with Mr. Murali got me convinced that I have found the right contact to address my immigration concerns. He guided me on the correct visa that i need to apply for. He also provided me a contact who would help me with the correct guidance to crack PTE to get maximum points from it.I also would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Murali for being very patient in answering my questions (sometimes silly and basic) and always reassured me that everything will be fine throughout the whole journey. During the course of the journey i was getting into an uncertain mode whether i would get the grant or not, and Mr. Murali again assured me that the grants will flow out soon. Their charges for the services were also nominal.Mr. Murali was very practical in his answers with me which always kept me afloat through the entire process when my thoughts about the grant happening were fading away and i was almost ready to forget about it. In short, Mr. Murali was "the" man for me during crisis.I will definitely recommend Mr. Murali and Mangalath Immigration Services India and Mangalath Immigration Australia for a transparent, smooth and assured process for anyone desiring to get an Australian visa.Again Thank you Mr. Murali for the services, guidance and patience for keeping my mind at ease
