Australia Student Visas (Subclass 500) — Guides for International Students

Clear, neutral guides to the Australian Student visa (subclass 500): what it is, the financial and Genuine Student requirements, how to apply through ImmiAccount, and mandatory Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Official facts only — verify on the Department of Home Affairs.

Planning to study in Australia starts with understanding the Student visa (subclass 500). These guides explain the visa and its conditions, the financial-capacity (evidence-of-funds) requirement and the figure that was raised in 2024, the Genuine Student (GS) requirement that replaced the older Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement on 23 March 2024, the step-by-step application process through ImmiAccount, and the mandatory Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Everything here is general information drawn from official Australian Government sources, not immigration advice — rules and amounts change, so always confirm the current details on the official Department of Home Affairs website before you apply.
