The purpose of the subclass 500 (student) visa is to allow international students to undertake full-time education and training in Australia.

This visa enables a student to stay in Australia for the duration of the relevant course. The student must enrol with (or in some cases have a letter of offer from) an Australian education provider before lodging a visa application. The minimum requirements for this visa are set out below:

The exact requirements for this visa will depend upon the level of risk assigned to your application (the ‘Immigration Risk’), which is determined by the risk ratings of your education provider and your passport nationality.

 

As the visa applicant, you must:

  • enrol with an Australian education provider as a full-time student, and obtain written confirmation of this enrolment (predominantly online courses are not eligible)
  • genuinely intend to complete the relevant period of study in Australia
  • have the required level of English language proficiency (unless exempt)
  • have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the period of your intended stay in Australia
  • have access to sufficient funds to cover your return airfares, tuition fees and the cost of living in Australia, as well as costs required for any dependents included in your application
 NOTE: The exact amount of funds a student requires is set by the Department of Home Affairs (the DOHA), and is determined by your chosen education provider, your course of study and other personal circumstances. Please contact us for further details.
