Student & Training Visas

Study and train in Australia

Australia is one of the world's leading destinations for international students, with strict requirements designed to ensure you are a genuine student. To apply for a student visa you generally need a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a registered Australian education provider, evidence of financial capacity, English proficiency, health insurance (OSHC) and meet the Genuine Student requirement.
