Students Visa(Subclass 500)
You can participate in an appropriate course of study, travel, and work (20 hours per week) in Australia with this visa. The visa is typically issued for a duration of 5 years of study, however the type of study and course length also influence the length of stay. If you wish to stay longer, you must apply for a new student visa, or if your student visa expires before your graduation date, you can apply for a guest visa subclass 600.
When submitting your visa application, you may list family members. For student visas, your family member is your partner, or your or your partner’s unmarried dependant kid who has not reached the age of 18.
Even if your family members do not intend to accompany you to Australia, you must disclose them in your student visa application. If you do not do this, your family members will not be able to join you in Australia on a student visa.
Your family members can also apply in ImmiAccount as a subsequent entrant (at a later time, apart from your application).
Complete Each Step For Letter of Offer & Visa Application
Students applying from outside Australia must have a letter of offer from approved University or College before you begin your Student Visa Processing.
