500 visa for higher education

Visa Introduction:

This visa is mainly designed for overseas students studying for a Bachelor's degree, Graduate Certificate/Diploma, and Master by Course degree in Australia


Visa characteristics

The length of the visa is determined by the length of the course, and students who have not completed their studies may renew their visa until the completion of their studies.

Visa holders and accompanying members are not allowed to work before the start of the work authorization course. Visa holders and accompanying members are allowed to work no more than 40 hours every two weeks after the start of the course.

The current visa policy supports students who have completed their undergraduate degree in Australia and can apply for a 2-year graduate work visa upon graduation.

Visa IELTS requirements

At present, visas are divided into two types: streamline and non streamline.

The language requirements for applicants of Streamline mainly depend on the admission requirements of various universities in Australia, and there are no restrictions on IELTS scores for visa applications themselves.

For non streamline applicants, the visa requirement is an IELTS score of no less than 5.0. But if studying in university, the school will have special requirements for IELTS, generally requiring a total score of no less than 6.0.


Visa funding guarantee requirements

Streamline applicants no longer have a deposit requirement for their visa, but they need to prove that they have sufficient funds to study abroad. The specific financial proof materials vary from person to person, please consult us.

Non streamline applicants are required to meet the following funding guarantee requirements:

The deposit guarantee in the form of bank deposit must have been deposited into the bank three months before submitting the visa application. The guarantee deposit can be in the name of the applicant, spouse, parents, grandparents/great grandparents. If there are uncles or aunts who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens, their funds can also be used as the applicant's guarantee deposit. These funds must be available cash deposited in a bank account. Stocks, funds, and other financial products are not acceptable. These funds must be kept in a bank account during the visa review period.

If the applicant cannot provide a bank deposit of more than 3 months, a bank loan can also be accepted as a form of study abroad loan. At present, there are two forms of student loans recognized by the Australian Immigration Department: cash collateral, which means borrowing less and borrowing more, and property mortgage. Cash pledge can be processed on the day of visa application, and banks can generally lend money on the same day. If a property is mortgaged, it usually takes at least a week, involving procedures such as property evaluation and pledging a portion of cash. Please consult us for specific loan methods.
