STUDENT VISA

Study and Live in Australia

The Student visa program provides international students with the opportunity to study in Australia at all education levels, including primary, secondary, tertiary, postgraduate, vocational, and non-award courses.

 

Depending on the student visa applicant’s immigration risk rating, which is determined upon lodging the application online, documentary evidence of English language proficiency and financial capacity shall be required.

 

For instance, student visa holders and student dependents have working rights of a maximum forty (40) hours every fifteen days except for students undergoing masters by research and doctorate studies with unlimited working rights.
