Student Visa 500

Student Visa 500 allows international students to stay in Australia for up to five years to pursue a course registered with CRICOS. With the Student Visa Subclass 500, a student can enroll in any full-time course at a recognised Australian institution. This Visa category also allows the student to bring family members with them to Australia. Although, this Visa is valid for up to 5 years in Australia, the student may only stay for the duration of their enrolled course.

You must have an OSHC which abbreviates to Overseas Student Health Cover. This is extremely important for your health and safety. So, it is considered a vital requirement while providing the student visa 500. There are different insurance providers who will entitle you to an OSHC. It will cover 100% of your medical costs.

If you miss the OSHC, then you must fall in one of the exemption categories that Australia has listed. Students who are exempt can apply for student visas 500 without OSHCs. If you won’t be 18 years old during your arrival in Australia, then you have to perform some additional procedures. You have to have adequate welfare arrangements to get eligible for a student visa subclass 500.

You will be required to fill out some questionnaires if you turn 18 before arriving in Australia. Once your guardians sign the form, only then you can get eligible for the international student visa in Australia.

It is mandatory for anyone under 18 to have a local guardian when they arrive in Australia. The local guardian should have a visa to stay in Australia until you turn 18. Also, the guardian themselves should be at least 21 years of age. By only filling these criteria, you will be eligible to get a student-dependent visa in Australia.
