How much is a student visa for Australia? The visa charge, OSHC, English tests, and the funds you must show. A clear cost breakdown from BYD Education & Immigration Consultants in Brisbane.
The student visa (subclass 500) has one main government fee: the visa application charge you pay Home Affairs when you lodge. But the visa charge is only a small part of the real cost of studying in Australia. On top of it you’ll need to budget for Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for your whole stay, an English test if your course requires one, and, for many applicants, the biggest item of all, evidence that you have enough money to cover your tuition and living costs. There are also smaller costs like health checks and any dependants you include. There’s no single sticker price, because it depends on your course, your length of stay, and how many people are on the application. Here’s the honest breakdown.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation. Our registered migration agent and qualified education consultant work under one roof, so your visa and study plans line up.
