The government has recently released its ‘Changes to the Temporary Graduate Visa Program’ and it’s good news for research students.
The Koala has been informed that the Department of Home affairs has announced that “Following the announcement of the 1 July 2024 implementation of changes to the Temporary Graduate Visa (TGV), the Department of Home Affairs has received a significant amount of feedback on the impact of the reduced age requirement on post graduate research students. Following further consideration of these impacts, a decision has been made that Masters (research) and doctoral degree (PhD) graduates will continue be eligible for a TGV if they are under 50 years of age.”
The Department’s website is due to be updated shortly.
