E-Visitor Visa (Subclass 651)
The Guardian Visa (subclass 590) allows a parent or guardian to stay in Australia to provide care and support to an international student who is under 18 years of age or requires special care. This visa is designed for those who need to live in Australia for the same duration as the student visa holder or until the student turns 18. The visa is temporary and is granted to those who can meet the necessary requirements to provide accommodation, support, and care for the student during their studies.
At Upright Migration Consultants, we offer professional guidance to ensure your Guardian Visa application is successful and seamless.
Key Highlights:
- Temporary Stay: The Guardian Visa is granted for the same duration as the student visa holder’s stay or until the student turns 18.
- Study Opportunities: As a Guardian Visa holder, you can study an English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS) for up to 20 hours per week or another course for up to three months.
- Limited Work Rights: This visa generally does not permit you to work.
