Gold Coast Meetup: Student Visas, Job Tips, and Staying Long-Term

Hey there!

If you're in the Gold Coast area, I'd love for you to join our meetup – a casual, informative catch-up about all things Australia, student visas, and making the most of your time here.

For those who don’t know me, my name is Arturas, and I’ve spent the last 16 years in Australia. Just one year after landing here, I founded LinAs – Learning in Australia Solutions education agency because I wanted to help people just like YOU find their footing in this incredible country. LinAs is all about guiding newcomers and long-time residents on their journey, whether navigating studies, finding work, or exploring long-term pathways in Australia.

One of my favourite parts of what I do is meeting people face-to-face and hearing their stories. Everyone has a unique journey here, and I’m passionate about building a community where you can feel supported, informed, and empowered to achieve your goals.

Who Should Attend?
This meetup is for anyone studying, working, or living in Australia who wants to learn more about navigating student visas, work options, and pathways to stay longer. Whether you’ve just arrived or you’ve been here a while, I’ll be sharing tips and insights that can help you feel more confident and prepared for what’s next.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you in person, answering your questions, and sharing advice that’s made a difference for so many others. See you soon!
