Understanding the Student Visa (Subclass 500)

The Student Visa (Subclass 500) is the primary visa for students wanting to study in Australia. With this visa, you can live and study in Australia for the duration of your course. If you have dependents, they may also be eligible to apply for a Subsequent Entrant Student Visa to join you while you study.

Eligibility for this Visa

To qualify for the Student Visa, you must meet a few eligibility requirements:


Enrollment in a Registered Course

You need to be enrolled in a full-time, CRICOS-registered course.


Financial Capacity

You must show you have enough funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and travel costs for both yourself and any dependents.


Genuine Student Requirement

You need to prove that studying in Australia is your main purpose, and that you plan to return home after your studies.


English Proficiency

You must demonstrate your English skills with tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE.


Health and Character Checks

Depending on your home country, medical exams and police clearances may be required.


Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

You’ll need to provide valid health cover for yourself and your family for the entire duration of your stay.

Ensure you meet all these requirements to avoid delays or complications in your application. Book your consultation today to get started on your Student Visa journey!

Understanding Student Visa Subsequent Entrant Stream

The Subsequent Entrant Student Visa is available to family members of current students in Australia. If your partner or children are accompanying you on your studies, they can apply for this visa to stay in Australia during your course.

Who is Eligible to Be a Subsequent Entrant?

Your partner or children under 18 can apply as subsequent entrants. If your child is 18 or older when the visa is granted, they’ll need to apply for their own visa.

You must declare all your family members in your initial Student Visa application to ensure they are eligible for the Subsequent Entrant Student Visa.

It’s essential to provide sufficient evidence of your relationship with your dependents. If your child is under 18 and the other parent is not accompanying them, you’ll need their consent, either in writing or through an official form.

Now, let’s take a look at the benefits your family members can enjoy when you apply for the Subsequent Entrant Student Visa.

Benefits for Your Family

When applying for the Subsequent Entrant Student Visa, your family members can enjoy the following benefits:

  • Live in Australia

Your partner and children can live with you in Australia for the entire duration of your student visa. This ensures that your family can stay together, offering emotional support and an enriching experience of life in Australia.

  • Work Rights for Your Partner

Your partner is permitted to work in Australia while you study. However, their work rights may vary depending on the type of course you are enrolled in. It is advisable to check their exact work entitlements through the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system.

  • Education Opportunities for Children

If your children are under 18, they can attend school in Australia, ensuring continuity in their education. In some cases, dependent children may also be eligible for higher education opportunities, depending on visa conditions and state-specific policies.

  • Flexible Travel Options

The dependent visa allows your family to travel freely in and out of Australia during the validity of their visa. This flexibility makes it easier for them to visit their home country or travel with you without restrictions.

Now that you know the benefits your family will enjoy, let’s move on to the essential steps you need to follow for your Subsequent Entrant Student Visa application.
