For Kenyan applicants, this visa allows you to stay in Australia for a period to work, study, or travel, depending on your eligibility. The primary stream is the Post-Study Work stream, which doesn't require sponsorship, nomination, or a job offer. Eligibility hinges on having a qualifying Australian education qualification and meeting the English language proficiency requirements.
