CONDITIONS FOR APPLYING FOR A VISA
As a visa applicant, you must fulfill the following requirements:
An Offer of Acceptance - Before a student can apply for a student visa, a valid offer letter from a CRICOS registered Australian institute is required.
English Proficiency - An IELTS score is a mandatory requirement and evidence of this must be included at the time of application for the student visa. The TOEFL exam is not accepted.
Financial Capacity - Student visas are granted when a student can prove that they have adequate funds to support themselves in Australia , pay for their tuition and care for dependant family members included on the visa.
Work Permit Rules - As a student in Australia , you will only have a limited working allowance on your visa. Therefore adequate funding to pay for living expenses and tuition are important and must be evidenced to gain the visa. If you take time off from study to work, you will fall below full-time study levels, exceed your work allowance on the visa, or will fail academically. Any of these things can lead to visa cancellation.
Bonafides - The student needs to submit their past academic records for verification as well as a statement of purpose for undertaking the desired course.
Health cover - Because Medicare, the Australian national health system, is not available to overseas students, you must maintain your Overseas Student Health (OSHC) cover while in Australia.
Non-Immigrant Intent - You must leave Australia before your visa expires.
Good Character - Other requirements are that you be a genuine student, have good health and be of good character-without a criminal record.
