Jin, a citizen of the Republic of Korea, arrived in Australia 4 months ago holding a Temporary Activity (Glass GG) subclass 408 visa. She came to Australia to compete in the Australian Open Championships for swimmers aiming for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

She didn't do that well and has decided to take a break from swimming. In fact, after a prolonged holiday touring the east coast of Australia, she decides that she would like to stay in Australia and enrol in a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Griffith University. She has come to see you in your new migration practice for advice about applying for a student visa.

You check her visa details on VEVO and note that she no longer holds a substantive visa as her subclass 408 visa expired on 15 May 2024.
