StudentVisa—Subclass500

Select a CRICOS-registered course aligned with your career goals and, ideally, your intended skilled migration occupation. CMG advises on course choices that maximise your post-study PR pathway options.

Accept your Letter of Offer from the institution, pay the required deposit and receive your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). The CoE is a mandatory document for your visa application.

Buy Overseas Student Health Cover for the full duration of your course before lodging. OSHC is a strict visa condition — standard policies cost AUD $500–$700 per year for a single student.

Write your Genuine Student statement addressing why you chose this course and institution, how it fits your career goals, and your ties to your home country. CMG helps structure a compelling, compliant statement.

Compile financial capacity evidence — bank statements (held 3+ months), scholarship letters, parental income or education loans — demonstrating you can cover AUD $29,710/year in living costs plus course fees and return airfare.

Submit the Subclass 500 application online via ImmiAccount with your CoE, financial evidence, English test results, OSHC policy, Genuine Student statement and identity documents. Pay the AUD $2,000 base charge.

Complete any requested health examinations at an approved panel physician. Processing typically takes several weeks to a few months depending on your nationality, provider risk level and course sector.
