Student visa (subclass 500)

If you wish to study in Australia for a period of more than three months a student visa is an excellent option. On a student visa you can stay in Australia for the full length of the course. It is critical that you apply for a full time course within an Australian recognised Institution for foreign students.

Some of the essential criteria to meet are the following:
• Demonstrate you have genuine intention to stay in Australia temporarily
• Demonstrate the relevance of the course in your career path. You may also need to meet financial and English criteria to obtain this visa as well as demonstrating you are a genuine temporary entrant.
