Course Selection For Student Visa
Course Selection For Student Visa
Course selection can affect both the student visa application and future PR planning.
Students should not choose a course only because it is cheap, popular or recommended by someone else.

The course should support a clear future direction.
Study Gap
Long gaps may need explanation and evidence.
Course Level
Moving down in level can create questions if not explained well.

University, college, VET or ELICOS options should match the student’s needs.

Financial Requirements And Estimated Costs
Financial Requirements And Estimated Costs
Student Visa financial requirements involve more than showing a bank balance. Evidence may need to cover travel, 12 months of tuition and living costs. Applicants may also need to show funds for family members included in the application.
For a single student, an estimated budget may include first-year tuition fees + AUD 29,710 living costs + travel costs + OSHC + the visa application fee.
Funds should match the student’s tuition, sponsor income and family situation. Sudden deposits, unclear income or weak banking history can raise concerns.
These are minimum planning amounts. Living costs in Sydney may be higher, and visa fees can change. Check the latest requirements before lodgement.
