Australia remains one of the most popular destinations for Pakistani students - and for good reason. World-class universities, generous work rights of 48 hours per fortnight during studies, and the Subclass 485 post-study work visa make it a complete package.
What you need for the Subclass 500 student visa:
1. Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a registered institution.
2. Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement - this is where most refusals happen, so it must be honest, specific and well-structured.
3. Proof of funds covering tuition, living costs and travel.
4. English test results (IELTS or PTE) meeting your course requirement.
5. Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for your full stay.
Timeline: most complete applications are decided within 4 to 8 weeks, but allow up to 3 months during peak intake seasons.
Our advice: start at least 6 months before your intended intake. Book a free consultation and we will assess your profile, shortlist courses and build your visa file to approval standards.
