✦MORE THAN A DESTINATION
See the place.
Plan the possibilities.
The right destination should fit the way you want to study, work and live. Compare the course or professional goal alongside your preferred city, everyday costs and the conditions attached to the visa you are considering.
A purposeful course choice
Be ready to explain how your intended studies connect with your background and future plans.
Know your conditions
The visa grant and its conditions matter before and after you arrive. Keep them accessible.
✦START WITH YOUR PURPOSE
Your plans.
Your Australia pathway.
These are starting points for research.
Requirements depend on your circumstances.
Student visa · subclass 500
The Student visa supports eligible study in Australia. The Genuine Student requirement and the applicable document checklist are part of preparation; check the requirements for your course and circumstances.
Use the official checklist and current application instructions.
Work-related pathways
Work routes can involve an employer or a skills-based category. Check the exact visa, any sponsorship requirements and the conditions that apply before making a career plan.
Permission is specific to the category and grant conditions.
Visitor & business visits
Australia’s visa finder distinguishes the purpose of a visit. Explore the category that fits tourism, visiting family or an eligible business visit, then check the specific conditions.
A business visit and taking employment are different activities.
Family & future plans
Family, dependent and longer-term plans need their own route assessment. The conditions on one person’s visa should not be assumed to apply to everyone travelling with them.
Discuss each family member’s circumstances and intended activity.
