Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I work on a 590 visa?

No. The Student Guardian visa does not grant work rights. You are in Australia solely as a guardian for the student.

How long does the visa last?

The visa duration generally matches the student's course. When the student turns 18 or completes their course, the guardian visa ends.
