Australia has introduced changes affecting Student visa (subclass 500) applications, including certain applications lodged within Australia and rules concerning family members accompanying international students.
Key Changes for International Students
1. Applying from inside Australia
Certain temporary visa holders, including some students applying for another Student visa, may be required to apply from outside Australia. Specified exemptions may apply.
2. Including partners and dependent children
Revised requirements may affect the inclusion of partners and dependent children in certain Student visa applications, as well as some subsequent-entrant applications. Eligibility depends on the applicant’s circumstances and applicable exemptions.
3. Changing courses or continuing studies
Students planning to change courses, continue their education or apply for another Student visa should consider how the revised requirements may affect their plans.
4. Applications lodged
The applicable rules may differ depending on when an application was lodged and the relevant transitional provisions.
Who Should Pay Attention?
Current international students in Australia.
Students planning to extend their studies or apply for another Student visa.
Families intending to accompany or join an international student.
The outcome depends on visa status, application timing and any applicable exemptions.
