Understanding the Student Guardian Visa Subclass 590

This Australian visa program allows a legal guardian or a student's parent to enter Australia temporarily to provide accommodation and general welfare arrangements for international students. Once approved, you hold a temporary visa that lets you stay until the child turns eighteen. Although you cannot work, you have the right to study an English language intensive course for less than twenty hours weekly, or other courses for up to three months. You can stay with more than one student if needed. This valid visa ensures you can support the educational journey of your kids.
