Frequently asked questions

My 485 is expiring and I don't have PR — what can I do?

Common options include a skilled visa (189/190/491), employer sponsorship (SID/482 or 186), a second regional 485, a partner visa, or a further qualification. The right move depends on your points, occupation and location — we assess all of them quickly.

Can I get a second 485?

A second Temporary Graduate visa is available in the Second Post-Higher-Education stream for eligible regional study. We check if you qualify.

What if my visa expires before I decide?

Don't let it. Lodging an eligible application before expiry usually gives you a bridging visa so you stay lawful. That's why timing matters — talk to us now.

I'm over 35 — are there alternatives?

Yes — employer sponsorship, partner visas and some regional pathways aren't age-capped like the 485. We'll map the ones open to you.
