Studying in Australia, holding a valid student visa is an important prerequisite. Therefore, we will introduce some important restrictions in student visa, I hope you will pay more attention to the future study / work to ensure the validity of your visa.
Several 8-character opening clauses are what students can see in student visa approval letters:
Section 8105: time limits for working hours
Holding a student visa means that foreign students automatically get permission to work. However, during the course, you can only work 40 hours a week every 2 weeks. If the student's working time exceeds, the Australian Department of Immigration may decide whether to cancel the student visa held by the student, as appropriate. If the students who need to work, do not exceed 20 hours a week.
Section 8202: learning restrictions
This is a student visa is very important, the most prone to problems, please pay attention to. Australian schools stipulate that student visa holders must maintain a full-time study on a registered course, and attendance must remain above 80%. School scores should also reach school satisfaction each semester (that is, not more than one course in a semester, or a course has not been repeated repeatedly has not passed). Therefore, students must pay attention to their attendance rate, and ensure a certain course pass rate.
Usually, if the student's attendance rate or performance is not satisfactory, the school usually sends a warning letter to the student first, Warning Letters, gives the student a 1 / 2 explanation opportunity. At this point, we must attach great importance to it, because it has reached the critical point of contacting the school and immigration authorities to cancel the visa. Students must seize the opportunity, prepare carefully, and do not let things get worse.
Section 8202 is that in order to regulate the market for overseas students and avoid the appearance of overseas students in Australia, the purpose is not to study, such as illegal work, etc., the Australian Immigration Department specially set the 8202 clause in the student visa conditions. As long as one of the above two requirements is not met, according to the law, the school must immediately report it to the Immigration Board and notify the student in writing that you have broken the visa condition 8202 (3) (a) attendance rate) in the letter. Or condition 8202 (3) (b) scores do not meet the academic standards set by the school. You are asked to go to the Immigration Service Compliance Office to explain the letter within 28 days.
8517 Article: maintenance of education of accompanying persons under 18 years of age and meeting the age of attendance
If student visa holders have children under the age of 18 as chaperones, the visa holders must ensure that school-age accompanying children attend school in Australia.
Clause 8532: guardianship of applicants under 18 years of age
If an applicant for a student visa is under 18 years of age, proper accommodation and guardianship arrangements are required to satisfy any of the following three articles:
- It must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian in Australia;
- In Australia, live with relatives over the age of 21 who are authorized by their parents and do not have a bad record;
- The school provides accommodation and guardianship arrangements, etc.
Clause 8533: address change must be reported
Student visa holders must notify the school of your address within 7 days of arrival in Australia. If your address changes, you must notify your school within 7 days. If you transfer or go to school, you must also notify the original school within 7 days of receipt of the new registration confirmation (COE).
Many international students have never notified the school after moving, resulting in loss of contact with the school, immigration, and missing important school letters at critical times, resulting in visa problems. Please remember that moving must notify the school, the school management system registered in the email, must also use the email mailbox I watch every day!
Clause 8534 or 8503: visa cannot be extended within the territory
If the length of your course is 10 months or less, a 8534 (No Further Stay) clause will be attached to your student visa. This means that students cannot apply for any visa extensions, including student visa extensions, within the country until the visa expires, with the exception of immigration applications and work permits. When the visa expires, the student must leave Australia. If a student wants to take another course, he or she needs to reapply for a student visa outside Australia.
