Graduate student visa changes set to come into effect

Published
PHD students say they're being left in limbo, as changes to temporary graduate visas are set to come into effect. From July, the eligible age to apply will drop from 50 to 35 - unless they have a Hong Kong or British passport. The length of time people can stay after their degree will also change. Students already here on the visa say they're facing an uncertain future.
