|
Subclass 574 - Postgraduate Research - for students undertaking a masters degree or doctorate |

The compliance requirements for people studying in Australia are particularly onerous and they must be aware of their obligations. Cancellation of visas can occur if students do not comply.
At Asia Pacific Lawyers, we offer advice to current and prospective students on types of visa, visa obligations and compliance requirements especially in relation to cancellation of student visa matters. We are also able to assist graduate students seeking to live permanently in Australia.
