The Student Visa (Subclass 500) in Australia was created to streamline the visa procedure for overseas students. The Australian Department of Home Affairs (DHA) has approved the introduction of the Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF) to influence the quality of visa applications and specify which method the students will need to go through, streamlined or regular.

The regular method entails you secure and show proof of general requirements, such as evidence of funds along with the English language and financial aptitude requirements as established by Australia's Department of Home Affairs (DHA). The streamlined method, on the other hand, provides a simple process since students are not required to exemplify proof of English language competency or financial capabilities for visa application evaluation, and no proof of funds is necessary. Our team of expert student visa consultants in Melbourne, and Sydney, will guide you through every step of successfully applying for the visa subclass 500 in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my options and possibilities for submitting an Australian PR application?

There are various visa types available for immigrants to Australia, each with specific requirements. The majority of foreign students intend to apply for visas Subclass 189 or Subclass 190. However, Subclass 491 has recently been introduced by the Australian government, and it may also result in permanent residency. The requirements for each of these subclasses vary, as do the points needed to be eligible for them.

If I don’t have enough points to submit an application for a PR. What are my options?

There is no definite response to the question of "How many points do I need for PR?" Australian immigration policies are very dynamic, and situations change frequently. However, you can visit the Department of Home Affairs website, where they regularly update the invitation points following their invitation rounds, to see the most recent invitation marks.

Does applying for a new course and student visa when I know my TR (Temporary Resident) is about to expire present any risks?

In addition to other pertaining requirements, all Australian student visa applicants must satisfy the Genuine Temporary Entrant Criteria in order to be approved. For this very reason, switching from a subclass 485 visa to a student visa can be challenging. You could try to reduce the risk by including a GTE statement with your student visa application, which must explain why you chose the specific study program you did in light of your prior experiences, future career goals and endeavours.
