Study Visa
If you
wish to study in Australia, you must get an Australian Student Visa.
According to the SSVF (Simplified Student Visa Framework) initiated on 1st July
2016, international students planning to study in Australia need to apply for
the Subclass 500 Visa.
Why
consider studying in Australia
International
students have a wide range of options while they are studying in Australia.
Even after completing your education, you will get a post-study work permit, due
to which Australia is one of the desired countries for international students.
Processing
time
Before
applying for a Student visa (subclass 500), we need to ensure that you are
meeting the eligibility requirements. The processing time for this visa will
take usually 4-5 weeks. If you have any dependent then he/she can apply for a
dependent visa in the same subclass 500 visa. They may not be able to travel
with you immediately, however, they need to declare their information during the visa
application. Or else, they won’t be able to apply for the dependent visa later.
