Student Visa

Australia is well known for its high quality of education – and studying in Australia can be a great choice to pursue your studies within a well-organised education system.

If you apply for a student visa for Australia, the level of documentation you need to provide will be determined by your choice of education provider and your country of citizenship.

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 on-line 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.

The exact amount of funds a student requires is set by Department of Home Affairs (DOHA), and is determined by your chosen education provider, your course of study and other personal circumstances. Please contact us for further details.
