Enrollment Procedure
New Visa Applicants ( Under SSVF)
From 1 July 2016, there will be only one student visa available to study in Australia – the Student visa (subclass 500).
The Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF) has been specifically designed to support the sustainable growth of Australia’s international education sector by making the process of applying for a student visa simpler to navigate for genuine students, delivering a more targeted approach to immigration integrity and reducing red tape for business.
All international students will now apply for a single Student visa (subclass 500), regardless of their chosen course of study,
all international students will be required to apply for their student visa online.
A new immigration risk framework will be used to guide the evidence of English language and financial capacity that a student needs to provide with their visa application.
Therefore after 1 July 2016, if you want to study in Australia, you will need to apply for the Student visa (subclass 500) regardless of your field of study.
To find out the documents you might need to provide with your student visa application, refer to the factsheets below, which are available on www.border.gov.au:
