Q3 I am a postgraduate student. My final examination will be held in August and my student visa will expire in mid-August. Do I need to apply for the IANG?

You can apply for a student visa extension (please refer to 2.2 Student Visa (Entry permit label) and Landing Slip) instead of the IANG because IANG applicants must have completed their studies.
