Australia has implemented new visa rules that allow Indian students studying in the country to work without a visa for up to 8 years. The working hours limit for students has also been increased to 48 hours per fortnight. This comes after an agreement between India and Australia to open up opportunities for students, academic researchers, and business people.

Under the Mobility Arrangement for Talented Early-Professionals Scheme (METS), Australia will allow up to 3000 young professionals from India to work in the country without a visa every year for a maximum of eight years. Additionally, Indian students can also spend two years in Australia without a visa sponsor.

The new visa rules stipulate that student visa holders can work a maximum of 48 hours in 15 days, with no time limit enforced in elder care. The aim of this rule is to ensure that students remain focused on their studies. The METS Visa program is aimed at graduates in fields such as engineering, mining, financial technology, artificial intelligence, information and communication technology, agricultural technology, and renewable energy.

Australia has expressed its intention to reform its immigration system to attract high-skilled workers. The government plans to make the visa process for high-skilled professionals faster and easier. These changes aim to accelerate the flow of skilled migrants into the country.
