Most students start on a study visa and stay to get a passport. Here are the 4 steps.
This is the visa for your classes. You can work 20 hours a week while you study.
After finishing your degree, you get 1 or 2 years to find a full-time expert job.
When you find a high-paying professional job, you get a permit. You can bring your family now.
After working for 2 years, you get Stamp 4. You can do any job or start a business now!
