Student Visa
Subclass 500 Student visa
If you are looking to study in Australia and need assistance with your student visa please contact our office to discuss your situation. You need to enrol in a CRICOS registered course, have the required level of English proficiency, and arrange Overseas Student Health Cover for the duration of your study. You also need to have sufficient funds to cover return airfares, tuition fees and living costs. The exact amount of funds is determined by your chosen education provider, your course of study and other personal circumstances.
Applicants studying short courses or from high risk countries will need to show they have access to funds or income to cover annual living costs in Australia. The costs/income required are as follows:
Living Costs
For a 12 month period, applicants must show:
- $29,710: main applicant
- $10,394: partner or spouse
- $4,449: for each dependent child
- $13,502: schooling costs for dependent children
Income Requirement
As an alternative to showing funds, your spouse or your parents can provide evidence of their taxable income in the 12 months prior to application. The minimum income required is as follows:
- $87,856: single applicant
- $102,500: applicant with dependents
The income demonstrated must be the personal income of your spouse (who is not
coming with you) or parents. If you would like to check your eligibility for this category of visa please contact us to discuss your situation.
