Tourist visas

• Unless you are on a scholarship with conditions about when you must depart Australia and return home, you can stay in Australia if your student visa has not expired.
• if you want to travel and explore Australia after your visa expires, apply for a tourist visa before your student visa expires. You can find out about short-term visas at visitor visa options
• if you have a no further stay condition, you cannot remain in Australia. Check with the Department of Home Affairs or a migration agent.
