Because minor students have limited ability to take care of themselves, in order to give some care to international students under the age of 18, the Australian government requires overseas students to study in Australia with student visas. If the age is below 65,438+08, parents or guardians can apply for an Australian companion visa (Australian visa 580) to accompany them. Australian accompanying visa (Australia 580 visa) is also applicable to students aged 18 who apply for such visas because of their cultural and religious beliefs. The Australian government encourages this type of visa as long as the relationship between the guardian and the student is clear.
However, it is not easy for all parents of international students to obtain official visas for accompanying students in Australia. It should be noted that the Immigration Bureau also has some regulations on this kind of visa, that is, if their parents or guardians have another child under the age of 6 and hold a third or fourth national passport, and the visa type of the student who applies for the guardian's escort is subclass57 1 or 1 or below, then this situation will not be accompanied by a guardian.
Some people may have such a question, can I accompany my child to study in Australia as a guardian or relative? The Australian Immigration Department stipulates that these people must meet the following conditions: they are relatives of applicants studying abroad, people over 2 1 year old with good conduct, and meet the requirements of health examination and economic situation. Except in special circumstances, the student guardian should have one of the following relationships with the applicant: spouse, children, adopted children, father or mother, brothers and sisters, and stepchildren (that is, children born between wife and ex-husband or husband and ex-wife). Stepfather or stepmother, half-parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, grandmothers, granddaughters, uncles and aunts, nephews and nieces, stepgrandmothers, stepgranddaughters, stepuncles and aunts, stepnephews and nieces.
Another point that students should pay attention to is that not all relatives can enter Australia as guardians of the applicant, and student guardians are not allowed to bring any family members into Australia as dependants of the visa. Anyone with children under 6 years old is not allowed to apply for a student guardian visa. If you plan to be the guardian of more than one student in Australia, you must inform the Immigration Bureau (when you apply) which student you want to contact to apply for a visa.
