Student visa (subclass 500)

A temporary visa for study in a CRICOS course. Core requirements include a Confirmation of Enrolment, Genuine Student evidence, English, funds and OSHC covering the stay. During classes, work is generally limited to 48 hours per fortnight, with exceptions for research master's and doctoral students. Study is not an automatic PR route; a later 485, skilled or employer-sponsored visa must be assessed separately.
