Why Choose Australia?

Australia has a little bit of everything to satisfy almost anyone; especially young people embarking on a change of scenery.

If you’ve ever dreamed of obtaining an Australia visa, there’s no time like the present to start researching how long you want to stay, what type of visa you wish to apply for, basic requirements, etc. There are many benefits to studying and working in Australia and below are descriptions of the different types of travel/holiday and student visas available.

Why Choose Australia?

The ETA visa permits tourists to stay for up to three months with the sole intention of travelling and holidaying. The application for this Australian visa is very simple to complete; you can apply online and get an instant decision without worrying about sending your passport away.

However, you must not work while using the Short Stay visa or engage in any studies for longer than three months. You must also be free from tuberculosis and not have a criminal record.


The Australian Long Stay visa is for travellers who are not eligible for the Short Stay visa or for those who wish to stay longer than three months. This visa lasts for 12 months, but the process is a bit more complex and in depth than the ETA visa and may take 20 days or longer to process. You may need to provide documentation. Again, you must not work or study for longer than three months and you may be required to undergo a health assessment and provide proof of funds to cover your expenses.

The Working Holiday visa is the perfect way to earn some money while enjoying your holiday. The visa is designed for people who wish to live and work for up to two years in Australia. It’s a great way to explore this vast continent as a casual worker, with the main purpose of working to supplement your holiday while gaining valuable work experience. You must not have any criminal convictions or medical issues and you must prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself upon arrival for entry. You can easily complete an online assessment to see if you meet eligibility requirements.

There are a number of student visas available for those who wish to study in Australia. There are many different types including visas for those who wish to study the English language in Australia; visas for those who wish to study primary or secondary education; visas to earn certificates or diplomas in vocational courses; while there are also visas for undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral candidates.

Students must enrol in classes and are not allowed to work; however, there may be part-time workstudy opportunities for those who have commenced their studies. Students must also prove they can support themselves and their dependants while in the country.

Why choose Australia? The answer is simple; there’s nothing like visiting or studying in a foreign country to fully experience all it has to offer and to get a glimpse into its history and culture. Australia is one of the most exciting countries in the world with its seasonable climate, unique terrain, exotic animals and big city amenities. There are so many things to explore. Australian visas are available whether you’re a working holidaymaker or a student studying at a university. With a little research you can find a visa you wish to apply for and get yourself into the Outback for an experience you’ll never forget.
