Hi so the general rule for International student on temporary student visa is that you are allowed to work upto 40 hours every fortnight(Part time). My question is however can an International student currently studying in Australia work as a freelancer or for a company outside Australia remotely for more than the general 40 hour rule. What if they are not bringing in any money into the country (i.e All income earned goes into foreign account). What are the visa implications and additionally also does the student still have to pay taxes on that income in Australia then?
