Student Visa Extension - Landmark Visas

Student Visa Extension Services

Whether you need more time to finish your current course, pursue further education, or take up internship opportunities, we'll ensure that your transition is smooth and stress-free. A student visa extension is essentially a new visa application and must be handled with care to meet all legal and academic requirements.

Our team of registered migration agents specializes in student visa extensions, helping international students across Australia maintain their legal status while continuing their education journey.

When Should You Apply for a Student Visa Extension?

It is highly recommended that you apply for your new student visa at least 8–12 weeks before your current visa expires.

Course Duration Exceeds Visa Expiry

If your current visa doesn't cover the entire duration of your course, you must apply for a new one to continue legally.

Incomplete Academic Requirements

Unforeseen delays, course failures, or needing to retake units may require extra time to complete your qualification.

Research or Internship

Students who receive new opportunities like research projects or industry placements often need additional time on their visa.

Additional Course Enrolment

If you decide to pursue a new degree, diploma, or certificate program, you'll need to apply for a new visa reflecting your updated course.

Continued Work Rights

Extending your student visa allows you to maintain part-time work rights while studying—helpful for covering living expenses.

Early Application

Apply at least 90 days before expiry to ensure uninterrupted study and avoid becoming unlawful in Australia.
