A student (subclass 500) visa may be granted to you if you intend to participate in an eligible course of study in Australia. The visa will allow you to travel in and out of Australia and work up to 40 hours every 2-week period once your course starts.
Student visas can be granted to children intending to study primary or high school in Australia, through to vocational and trade education up through to higher education. The validity period of a student visa will generally be determined by the length of the course.
In order to obtain this type of visa you must be able to demonstrate that you are a genuine student and genuinely intend to visit Australia temporarily to complete your studies.
Studying in Australia may lead to becoming eligible for a further provisional or permanent residency visa. However, any study you intend to undertake must be for the furthering of your education or career.
