Visa 590 – Student Guardian Visa
Be There for Your Child’s Educational Journey in Australia
Are you looking to accompany your child while they study in Australia? The Student Guardian Visa (Subclass 590) is your perfect opportunity to provide care and support as your child receives quality education abroad. This visa allows parents, legal guardians, or eligible relatives to stay in Australia as the guardian of an international student under the age of 18—or over 18 if required for welfare reasons.
What is the 590 Student Guardian Visa?
The Student Guardian Visa (Subclass 590) is a temporary visa that allows you to live in Australia for the duration of the student’s stay, or until they turn 18, whichever comes first. It ensures that younger international students have the emotional, physical, and practical support they need during their studies.
