Designed for international students who want to study in Australia, with the flexibility to work part-time while completing your course. Here’s everything you need to know before applying.
The Student Visa Subclass 500 is designed for international students who wish to study in Australia. It allows you to stay in Australia for the duration of your course and offers the flexibility to work part-time while studying. The visa is granted based on your enrolment in a registered Australian educational institution, and requires you to maintain adequate Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) throughout your stay.
With the Student Visa Subclass 500, you can pursue your educational goals in Australia and experience the country’s high-quality education system and vibrant culture — while also opening the door to a potential post-study work visa (Subclass 485) once your course is complete.
Yes. You can work up to 48 hours a fortnight while your course is in session, and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks.
Your stay is tied to the length of your course, plus a short period afterwards to prepare to leave Australia (or transition to another visa, such as the Subclass 485).
You can study a wide range of courses, including English language courses, primary or secondary school, vocational education and training (VET), higher education, and postgraduate research.
Yes, but you must inform your education provider about the change and ensure the new course still meets your visa requirements. Depending on the nature and duration of the new course, you may need to apply for a new visa — it’s best to check with a registered migration agent before switching.
Processing times vary depending on your location and circumstances. For a current indication, check the Department of Home Affairs’ global visa processing times, or ask us for guidance specific to your situation.
