Student Visa to Australia (Subclass 500)

The Student visa (subclass 500) allows eligible international students to study in Australia. A strong application should connect a genuine study plan with current visa requirements and supporting evidence.

What does an Australian Student visa application need to address?

Applicants generally need eligible enrolment, genuine study intent, required financial and English evidence where applicable, health and character requirements, and other evidence relevant to their circumstances. The Genuine Student requirement is central to the current process.

  • Confirmation of Enrolment and application timing
  • Genuine Student questions and supporting evidence

The Genuine Student requirement

Current Student visa applications ask applicants to address Genuine Student criteria. Responses should reflect the applicant’s real study history, reasons for choosing the course and provider, understanding of studying and living in Australia, and how the course fits future plans.

Use CRICOS when checking providers and courses

CRICOS is the Australian Government register of education providers and courses available to people studying in Australia on Student visas.
