Hey everyone,

Just wanted to ask if there are any people from Myanmar in this group who have recently applied for or received an Australian visa.

I studied my Bachelor’s degree in Australia and I’m currently on a TR/485 visa, but it’s ending soon so I’ll be going back to Myanmar. My plan was to hopefully return in around 2 years to do my Master’s degree.

Lately I’ve been hearing mixed things and was wondering if Australia is still granting visas normally to Myanmar nationals or if things have become much harder/limited recently.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with recent experience — student visas, visitor visas, anything really. Just trying to understand the current situation and whether returning later for studies is still realistic.

Thanks a lot 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’m moving back to Yangon soon after spending a few years abroad and wanted to meet new people and get involved in some social activities.

I’ve always loved playing football/soccer, whether it’s casual kickabouts, futsal, weekend games, or social leagues. I’d love to join a friendly group that plays regularly and is open to new people.

Also open to other social events too — cafés, gym groups, networking, hiking, food spots, or just chill hangouts. Mainly just looking to build a good circle and meet interesting people around Yangon.

If anyone knows any groups, chats, clubs, or communities I could join, feel free to comment or DM me. Cheers!

Hey everyone,

I'm an international student leaving Australia soon and my Victorian licence expires in June next year. The problem is I won't be back in Australia for at least 5 years.

Is there any way to keep my Australian driver's licence valid while living overseas long-term? Can I renew it remotely or does it just lapse?

Any advice appreciated!
