Hi :) I’m from Europe and have been accepted into a study exchange program at one of the Australian universities. I’m struggling to choose a visa type to apply for - either Study Visa (500) or Work and Holiday Visa (462).

I will be in Australia only for 1 trimester, so WHV would be enough in terms of the time spent studying. I’m not sure if universities accepts this kind of Visa for international students though. Can I have all the advantages of being a student (whatever there might be) if I’m on WHV?

Also, my boyfriend wants to come with me to Australia, but he doesnt study anymore, he just wants to be there with me and find some local temporary job for that time. Does he have a choice of visas then, or the only one he can choose for that is WHV? I’m basically asking, if I would get a Student Visa, could I somehow mention him in my visa process so we get that visa together, even though he will not study in Australia, or would he have to get the WHV anyway?

I would be grateful if you could share your experience if you’ve completed your exchange already or just know more about the topic :) Thanks!

Hi :) I’m from Europe and have been accepted into a study exchange program at Griffith University. I’m struggling to choose a visa type to apply for - either Study Visa (500) or Work and Holiday Visa (462).

I will be in Australia only for 1 trimester, so WHV would be enough in terms of the time spent studying. What I don’t like about the Student Visa is that you can work only 48h per fortnight, and I think I would like to have more freedom with that, but I’m not sure if Griffith accepts this kind of Visa for international students? Can I have all the advantages of being a student (whatever there might be) if I’m on WHV?

Hello, I’m flying a lot with Wizzair and I wanted to ask if maybe someone has a voucher for sale? :)
