Understanding the Australian Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) for Kenyans
The Australian Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) is designed for international students who have recently graduated with eligible qualifications. For Kenyan applicants, this visa stream provides a chance to leverage their education and skills in a new environment. It typically requires a recent qualification from an Australian educational institution, though specific streams might exist for those with overseas qualifications. The visa allows you to stay in Australia for a set period, usually between 18 months and 4 years, depending on your qualification and course. This period is invaluable for gaining work experience, networking, and potentially exploring permanent residency pathways.
