Hello

I am under 18 student and applying for a student visa from Nepal and I don't have any close relative (means the relation of blood) in Australia. However, my brother's friends have already got a Permanent Residency in Australia.

Is it possible to get a guardianship from their side? If yes, how much is the charge and what documents should I have and what should be their role?

So, you are in fact 18 already?

So when you say
...I am under 18 student...
you actually are not?

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve here?

Sir, I am asking you about this matter about my brother. Can you tell me about exact rules? I am a teacher and I have been teaching in military school.

Sorry it's not your fault cause I had not informed you about the details of my queries.

For information about Student Visas in general, start here..
In particular, there are some conditions that attach to students who are less than 18 years old.
You can find those here.
