We understand that applying for a student visa can be confusing. That’s why our team of registered migration professionals is here to help you every step of the way – from choosing the right course to preparing your visa documents and lodging your application.


What is a Student Visa?

A student visa allows international students to study full-time in Australia at an accredited education institution. The most common type is the Subclass 500 Student visa. With this visa, you can:

  • Stay in Australia for the duration of your course
  • Work up to 48 hours per fortnight (during study)
  • Bring your eligible family members
  • Travel in and out of Australia freely

This visa is required for most international students and must be approved before you begin your studies.


Who Can Apply for a Student Visa?

To be eligible for a student visa, you must:

  • Be enrolled in a registered course at an approved Australian institution
  • Provide a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
  • Meet English language requirements (e.g., IELTS, PTE)
  • Show evidence of sufficient funds
  • Meet health and character requirements
  • Have genuine intentions to study in Australia

AVC Migration helps you assess your eligibility and prepares your Subclass 500 Student visa application with the right documentation.


How AVC Migration Helps You

Applying for a student visa is more than just filling out forms. At AVC Migration, we provide end-to-end support to ensure your journey to study in Australia is smooth, stress-free, and successful.


1. Course and Institution Guidance

Choosing the right course is the foundation of your student visa. We take time to understand your education background, career goals, and migration plans. Based on that, we recommend suitable courses and registered institutions across Australia. Whether you want to study in Sydney, Melbourne, or a regional area, we help you pick a course that meets your goals and visa conditions.


We also ensure the course duration and level align with your long-term plans, including eligibility for post-study work visas.


2. Document Preparation

A strong application begins with the right documents. Our team will assist you with gathering and reviewing all required paperwork, including:

  • Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE): Official proof of your admission
  • English Language Test Results: IELTS, PTE, or equivalent scores.
  • Financial Evidence: Bank statements, sponsorship letters, or education loans to prove you can cover tuition and living expenses.
  • Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC): We’ll help you purchase the right visa-compliant insurance policy.
  • Genuine Student (GS) Statement: Also called the Statement of Purpose, we guide you in writing a clear and convincing statement that meets Australian immigration standards.

We ensure everything is accurate, organised, and tailored to your situation.


3. Visa Application Lodgement

Once all documents are ready, our migration experts will complete and lodge your Subclass 500 Student visa application. We:

  • Double-check every detail before submission
  • Monitor the application for updates or additional requests from the Department of Home Affairs
  • Keep you informed throughout the entire process

This reduces the risk of delays or rejections and gives you peace of mind knowing professionals are handling your case.
