The Student visa (subclass 500) is the primary visa for international students wishing to study full-time in Australia. It covers everything from English language courses and vocational training to undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. To be granted a Student visa, you must be enrolled in a CRICOS-registered course, meet English language requirements, demonstrate genuine temporary entrant (GTE) intent, and have sufficient funds to support yourself. Our OMARA-registered agents guide you through every step — from assessing your eligibility and crafting a compelling GTE statement to lodging your application and managing your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
