About Onshore Student Visa - Subclass 500
International students already in Australia use Subclass 500 to remain and study full time at a CRICOS institution. From 1 January 2025, onshore lodgement requires a valid Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) - offers alone are insufficient. Our team assists with CoE, GS statement drafting, funds evidence against current living-cost benchmarks, OSHC, English and health checks, and lodgement so your lawful stay continues without gaps.
