This article will cover the Australian visa's history and the regulations and policies governing Australian student visas. We will have more information regarding the employment possibilities in Australia for international students. 

1. Visa - Introduction: 

The visa policy of a nation deals with the requirement that a foreign national wishing to enter that country obtain a visa. It permits one to travel, join, or stay in that country. As of 2015, VISA-free entries are denied in almost all countries. 

2. Visa History - Australia: 

In the 1970s, Australia was among the first nations to replace ink-based stamps with secure stick-on labels. 

In 1987, computers were used for the first time to process visitor visa applications in overseas Australian immigration offices. 

Again in 1990, the Immigration Records and Information System (IRIS II) was introduced to simplify immigration clearance by enabling cross-counter visa issues, earning it the title "the most advanced visa processing system in the world." 

Australia was the first nation to introduce electronic visas in 1996. The Electronic Travel Authority system (ETA) was introduced to connect electronic tickets to the applicant's passport. In 2015, the issue of visa stickers came to an end.
