Key Highlights

What is an Australian Study Visa?

An Australian study visa is a temporary visa, that enables you to remain in Australia for the duration of your study.

Guidelines issued as per the notification and w.e.f. July 1, 2016, for the Australian Student Visa, have changed, and a Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF) has been initiated.

According to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, all international students planning to study in Australia are now required to apply for a visa under Subclass 500 and this effectively combines the erstwhile subclasses 571 – 576 into one.

Upcoming Intakes in Australia

Australian universities have two intakes every year:

  • Intake 1:  Extends from February/early March to late May/early June
  • Intake 2: Extends from July/early August through to November 

The first intake is usually treated as the main intake by most Indian students. The best thing to do is to prepare for the next upcoming intake.
