Take our free 2-minute eligibility quiz and find out instantly
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.
Linked to enrolment plus vacation period; working hours capped (e.g. 48 hours per fortnight during term where applicable).
Application preparation aligned with Department checklists.
Structured statement support for course and career coherence.
Confirm institution and course details prior to lodging.
Advice on lawful status transitions where relevant.
Document review for health cover and financial capacity.
Updates and next steps through processing.
