Applying and obtaining an Australian student visa

In order to study in Australia, you will need to obtain an Australian student visa. You must be able to meet the following key Australian student visa requirements:

• Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement( interview to show intention of stay in Australia)
• All international students apply for the same visa: the Student Visa (Subclass 500), which you must apply for online.
• Before applying for a visa, you’ll need to obtain a Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) or a Letter of Offer
• Pay the visa application fee, and perhaps attend an interview.
• Financial requirements: Evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition, travel and living costs. Alternatively, you can show evidence that your spouse or parents are willing to support you.
• English proficiency requirement: If you’re not from an English-speaking country (and haven’t completed at least five years’ study in an English-speaking country) you’ll need to prove you can speak English to the required level.
• Health requirements: Some students may be asked to take a medical and/or a radiological check-up to show they’re in good health (this applies, for example, to those who intend to train as a doctor, dentist or nurse).

Except those from Belgium or Norway, all students are obliged to purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

Students from Sweden who have purchased health insurance through Kammarkollegiet will not need to purchase OSHC. Belgian and Norwegian students are also not required to purchase OSHC as part of their visa requirements.

• Character requirements: Australian student visa requirements stipulate you must be of good character to enter Australia. This includes a criminal record check, to make sure you don’t have a substantial criminal record. You may also need to acquire a penal clearance certificate (or police certificate) or get a police statement, and may be asked to complete a Character Statutory Declaration Form.

The Department of Home Affairs website has a document checklist feature that will provide you with a list of documents required for submission which includes;

If your course is longer than 10 months and finishes in January to October, your visa will usually be valid for two months following the completion of your course.
