The Subclass 500 Student Visa allows you to come to Australia to complete a course of full time study you are enrolled in.
It also allows your family members of the applicant to accompany you to Australia.
Eligibility
At the time of Application, you must have evidence of enrolment to study
If you’re overseas – a COE (Confirmation of Enrolment)
If you’re in Australia – COE or letter of offer, but you must provide a COE prior to the visa decision.
If you’re a postgraduate student – a letter of post graduate thesis marking (post graduates).
If you’re under the age of 18, you must provide evidence of arrangements for accommodation, support and general welfare for your stay in Australia.
Partners & Spouses
Your partner or spouse can make a combined application with you for a student visa or they can apply as an “subsequent entrant” once your visa has been granted (please note however that you must disclose your partner at the time of your own application, or you will have to lodge an entirely new application for yourself as well).
You cannot add a partner to a student visa after your application has been lodged, only after it has been granted.
Apply for more than one course
You can apply to undertake two or more courses on the one visa; this is known as “packaging” courses.
The principal course is always the highest level course and there is no limit to the number of courses in a package, but they should be related and show progression.
For the visa to be granted for the full duration of the packaged course, a CoE for each course is required. The visa however may only be granted for a maximum of five years, regardless.
You must be a Genuine Temporary Entrant
Fulfill 3 requirements to enter Australia:
Intention to genuinely stay in Australia temporarily,
Intention to comply with visa conditions, and
Any other relevant matter.
You must have the relevant English language proficiency.
If required, you must provide evidence of English language proficiency in a form specified by the authorities.
You must have sufficient financial capacity
You must have genuine access to sufficient funds to cover costs and expenses for yourself and any accompanying family applicants for the duration of your intended stay in Australia.
