Student Visas allow international students to travel to and from Australia and live in Australia while they undertake a full-time course of study. There are many different courses an international student may enroll in, and it is possible to apply for permission to work part-time while studying
When applying for a student visa, you can include your partner if you wish or apply for separate spouse visas, or dependent visas or subsequent entry visas. Parents or relatives of a student who is less than 16 years old can apply for a guardian visa to stay in Australia with the student.
While on a student visa, you can change your course onshore to one leading to permanent residency (PR), or change your education provider. Our educational agent in Melbourne can assist with advice on various course providers, including those involved with level 1 providers and can help with student visa extensions. If you are eligible, our migration agent or senior migration consultant can help you apply for graduate work visas and with pursuing other options.
Eligible Providers Level 1 include bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Students applying for student visas are treated as lower risk by DIBP ( Department of Immigration and Broder Protection).
On the other hand, risk assessments can vary depending on one’s passport and country of origin. Risk assessment levels range from 1 to 4. For a diploma of hospitality, an Indian student’s assessment level would be 3. Our consultants can help such a student with their financial statements, and with meeting genuine entry and IELTS requirements.
Visa Requirements
First, enroll in a CRICOS-registered course,
GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant)
You must be a genuine student to complete studies in Australia and comply with visa conditions and return home after your studies.
The genuine temporary entrant (GTE) requirement is an integrity measure to ensure that the student visa programme is used as intended and not as a way for international students to maintain ongoing residency in Australia.
You must satisfy DIBP that you have a genuine intention to stay in Australia temporarily.
When assessing the GTE requirement, DIBP would consider the requirements set out in direction number 69, and take the following in account:
your circumstances
your immigration history
if you are under 18 years old, the intention of your parent, legal guardian or partner
any other relevant matter.
This would generally involve demonstrating how the studies are relevant to your background, and how they will improve your employment prospects in your home country.
Country Levels and Provider Levels
Ratings apply to different education providers and to different passport countries.
Depending on the combination of your passport country and the education provider, you will either need to meet:

Streamlined Evidentiary Requirements: evidence of English language ability or finances not generally required

CAE (Cambridge): 162
PTE (Pearson): 42
