Dhaka, July 22- – The Australian government has announced changes to international student visa arrangements, including recommencing granting student visas lodged outside Australia. This means when Australia’s borders re-open, students will already have visas and be able to make arrangements to travel, said the Australian High Commission in Dhaka on Wednesday.
The changes also enable international students to lodge a further student visa application free of charge, if they are unable to complete their studies within their original visa validity due to COVID-19, it said.
These visa changes will ensure international students are not worse off due to the coronavirus pandemic, said the High Commission. – UNB
