- In most cases, all students and student guardians can submit their visa applications online by opening an ImmiAccount account.
An evidence-based model
Student’s education provider’s, as well as the country of citizenship’s evidence, helps determine if the student should present financial proof and English language capability and visa application.
An online document checklist tool
Students can use an online document checklist tool to evaluate the documents they need to send along with their visa application.
Financial capability is requir.
Applicants seeking student visas must have enough money to stay in Australia. The living costs that students add to their visa applications reflect the cost of living in Australia. While in Australia, students should not rely on work to support themselves or their families.
English language requirement

Other requirements
Applicants must also fulfill all other requirements for a student visa.
Evidence of enrolment
- When applying for a student visa, students from outside Australia must confirm enrollment in a recognized course.
- Students in Australia can apply with either a letter of offer or an offer of a Confirmation of Enrolment. But they must have a Confirmation of Enrolment for the visa approval.
School sector requirements
Regardless of their citizenship, all school pupils must be of an acceptable age for the admission level for their school course.
Welfare for under-18-year-old students
While in Australia, students under the age of 18 must-have proper welfare arrangements in place.
Course packaging
Students can combine two or more courses on one student visa if they proceed from one to the next.
Reporting by the education sector
These education fields correspond to the seven (subclass 570–576) student visas that have been phased out. Student visa grant letters and Visa Entitlement Verification Online provide information about these educational areas (VEVO).

The Simplified Student Visa Framework streamlines the visa application process for students who find it hard to submit. It also supports the immigration department to reinforce the integrity of the Student Visa Programme.
